This time, we have a pair of novels. First up is Ellery Queen's The Roman Hat Mystery, originally published in 1929. It made quite an impact upon publication and launched the career of an iconic sleuth. While not quite on par with Sherlock Holmes, Ellery is certainly one of the great American fictional detectives, up there with Nero Wolfe, Nick Carter, and Philo Vance (and arguable at the head of the crowd). Our second novel is the first volume of Lin Carter's epic Gondwane saga, The Warrior of World's End. It's a far-future science-fantasy sword-and-sorcery novel. (Try saying that t...
This time, we have a pair of novels. First up is Ellery Queen's The Roman Hat Mystery, originally published in 1929. It made quite an impact upon publication and launched the career of an iconic sleuth. While not quite on par with Sherlock Holmes, Ellery is certainly one of the great American fictional detectives, up there with Nero Wolfe, Nick Carter, and Philo Vance (and arguable at the head of the crowd). Our second novel is the first volume of Lin Carter's epic Gondwane saga, The Warrior of World's End. It's a far-future science-fantasy sword-and-sorcery novel. (Try saying that three times fast!) If you like action-adventure fantasy in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs, you can't go wrong. And we'll have the rest of the series in future volumes.
As for the short stories, we have lots of returning favorite authors this issue, including Ron Miller (with a new Velda P.I. story), Andrew Welsh-Huggins (with an original mystery, thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), Shannon Taft (another original, thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), and Veronica Leigh (with a new Smith Sisters story). New to BCW are Zary Fekete and Phil Giunta (though we hope to see more from them in the future).
And, of course, we have a new solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles and a classic sci-fi tale from Robert F. Young. Lots of good stuff, as always.
Here's the complete lineup-
