Clarke's first stories, including "Travel by Wire!", "Retreat from Earth" and "How We Went to Mars".

It was edited by Douglas W. F. Mayer and published by The Science Fiction Association at Leeds, England, from October 1937 through March 1938. Other authors whose early work appeared in its pages include William F. Temple and Eric C. Williams.
