Excerpt from Joe Wehrle, Jr.’s article on “The Telzey Amberdon Stories of James H. Schmitz” in The Digest Enthusiast No. 7:
The Lion Game (Analog August and September 1971). Telzey doesn’t entirely trust the Psychological Service, but occasionally teams up with them for mutual benefit. The Service has detected that there’s a new psi awareness of Telzey’s abilities at her college, and makes arrangements for her to Tinokti as an agent—and as bait! That sets her up for a nerve-wracking chase between connecting portals on the planet, where everyone can be an enemy. Reprinted in The Lion Game.
Publisher Gordon Van Gelder shares this advance look at the cover to the Jul/Aug issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction, by Mondolithic Sudios, coming to newsstands in July. You’ll see the cover art before its typography was added in The Digest Enthusiast No. 10, which I hope to be able to release tomorrow.

Excerpt from the review of Black Cat Mystery Magazine No. 1 from The Digest Enthusiast No. 7:
The Flirty Flamingo is a strip club where an ex-cop named Fin often stations himself at the end of the bar. “Usually he let Joe, the barkeep, handle the rough customers and was only there for unofficial backup.” But when new girl Jodie Vive shares her story, Fin finds himself mangled up in high-profile politics and murder. “Flight to the Flirty Flamingo” by Kaye George is smart, tart, and fleet.
