    [synopsis] => Once again we have an eclectic mix of stories new and old. Leading off the pack is an original tale by Andrew Welsh-Huggins, "Digging In," as a couple goes to great lengths to save their marriage. It was acquired for BCW by editor Michael Bracken. Barb Goffman found a real crime-story treat by John Lantigua. And we have a novel by Stephen Marlowe, a solve-it-yourself short by Hal Charles, and a classic historical story (yes, another Western-but it's also a mystery) by W.C. Tuttle.

On the science fiction and fantasy end of things, there are two "brain" stories-John W. Campbell's planet-hopping space opera, "The Brain Pirates" and Malcolm Jameson's "Brains for Bricks." Nelson Bond's Lancelot Biggs space-opera hero returns to save the day in "Where Are You, Mr. Biggs?" And one of the kings of space opera, Edmond Hamilton, is back with a change-of-pace fantasy from Weird Tales. Dorothy C. Quick, another WT alum, also contributes a fantasy. Great classic reading.

"Digging In," by Andrew Welsh-Huggins [Michael Bracken Presents short story] "A Surprising Treat," by Hal Charles [solve-it-yourself mystery]
