"Astounding Science Fiction" (British Edition), November 1956 (ed John W Campbell) (magazine, free): Annotated table of contents & review
I'd read "Next of Kin", the novelization of "Plus X" (another longer variant of the story is "The Space Willis"), when I went through a Russell phase some years ago, & just loved it. Now, reading the original novelette in this issue, I had a milder reaction, but it still made me laugh at many places. It's a funny jailbreak story - a human smart alec vs his dimwitted alien captors.

Sounds interesting, but how do I open CBR files? I extracted it from the rar file but my phone is unable to read CBR files!
On my Android phone, I use "Moon+ Reader" I downloaded from Google Play. There must be others, & yet other ones for iPhone. Search for "cbr reader" or "book reader" on the relevant market (Moon+ is a generic book reader that can handle many formats, including cbr).
On PC, I use CDisplay software.
Ah Ive used FBreader on an android phone I used to have, will try that, thanks.
