Table of contents.

1. [novel] [serial - 1 of 2] [p 8] Victor Rousseau's "The Beetle Horde": "Only two young explorers stand in the way of the Mad Bram's horrible revenge - the releasing of his trillions of man-sized beetles upon the utterly defenseless world."
2. [p 32] Captain S P Meek's "The Cave of Horror": "Screaming, the guardsman was jerked through the air. An unearthly screech rang through the cavern. The unseen horror of mammoth cave had struck."
3. [novel] [p 46] Ray Cummings' "Phantoms of Reality": "Red Sensua's knife came up dripping, & the two adventurers knew that chaos & bloody revolution had been unleashed in that shadowy kingdom of the fourth dimension."
4. [p 75] M L Staley's "The Stolen Mind": "What would you do, if, like Quest, you were tricked, & your very mind & will stolen from your body."
5. [p 92] C V Tench's "Compensation": "Professor Wroxton had disappeared - but in the bottom of the mysterious crystal cage lay the diamond from his ring!"
6. [p 100] Murray Leinster's "Tanks": Two miles of American front had gone dead. And on two lone infantrymen, lost in the menace of the fog-gas & the tanks, depended the outcome of the war of 1932."
   
   While this description sounds a bit like Leinster's "Morale", it is a different story, because "Morale" appears later - in December 1931 issue.
7. [p 118] Anthony Pelcher's "Invisible Death": "On Lees' quick & clever action depended the life of "Old Perk" Ferguson, the millionaire manufacturer threatened by the uncanny, invisible killer."
