The Last Man

Our Cover

this month depicts a scene from the story entitled “The Death of the Moon," by Alexander Phillips, in which the scientists of the moon, who had that day arrived on the planet Earth, are shown fleeing from the jaws of the enraged Tyrannosaurus Rex, the planet's first inhabitants.

In Our Next Issue:

The Airlords of Han, by Philip Nowlan. When “Armageddon—2419” was published, we received a surprising number of requests for a sequel, Mr. Nowlan has finally given us one, and it is not only worthy of its predecessor; it actually surpasses it. We know you will follow, with bated breath, the work of the scientists of both factions—the Hans and the Americans—while they prepare more and more effective means for attack and defense,

The Face of Isis, by Cyril G. Wates. Most of our readers will remember Mr. Wates as the first prize winner in our cover illustration contest of December, 1926. His story, “The Visitation,” was unanimously acclaimed worthy of the prize. In “The Face of Isis,” the author bases his plot on the discovery of an ancient Egyptian casket and on the science of archeology. The contention is that the Aztec culture was an offshoot of the ancient Egyptian civilization. It seems quite plausible.

The Prosperity Fund, by Raymond Emery Lawrence. Stories of the far distant future are generally interesting and always compel our attention. ‘This particular tale deals with an unusual subject in the field of scientifiction—the possible evolution of our present monetary system. You don’t need to be an economist to enjoy this ingenious piece of work.

Fingers of the Mist, by Peter Brough. Synthetic life is no novelty in the laboratory any more, Scientists claim to have come pretty close to the secret of life—even if only in the microscopic form thus far. It seems quite possible, even now, that great strides will be made in that science in the near future. At any rate, the idea gives our new author a splendid vehicle for an absorbing story of unusual interest.
