Welcome, thank you for stopping by and please don’t forget to tell your friends about us!
Back in 1926 Hugo Gernsback was a successful publisher, inventor and broadcaster with a passion for sharing his passions, which in his case was science in all its forms.

The second Relaunch Prelaunch issue will premiere August 1st, 2012 and features an Amazing cover by David Hardy (Retro Rocket – available as a print along with much more David Hardy art on his website AstroArt) and a David Hardy Retrospective – from Martian War Machines to Bhen, the enigmatic, fun-loving alien featured on many Fantasy & Science Fiction covers.

There have been many people who have expressed their support, enthusiasm, excitement and best wishes for the return of Amazing Stories.
To all who have done so, my deepest and most heartfelt thank you.    There will be a place for each and everyone of you here.

In this intro I shall explain that what you are viewing is not really the new Amazing Stories.
What you are actually looking at is the Relaunch Prelaunch of the new Amazing Stories.

Wildcatter dropped onto Hawking a month ahead of perihelion. We slammed in after losing a brutal tug of war with the singularity that started when we closed to 60 klicks. I was in the cockpit running a spectrometry survey through the assayer ay-eye during our final approach. I’ve flown a lot of A.U.’s with McRae; he’s a damn fine pilot.

An Introduction to Chain Mail
When Sue Lange (BVC) and I put our heads together to try and come up with something interesting, timely, fun AND do-able, we ultimately ended up with something interesting, timely, mostly fun and almost do-able.  How much so I’ll leave to the reader to decide.
Sue played the dual roles of enthusiastic supporter and willing cat herder.
