      In the depths of winter last year, I was running through a cold and unlit field near my house when I saw a trail of lights moving through the sky. I stopped. The air caught in my throat. “Bloody hell,” I thought, “were the UFO people right all along?

      The Beasts In The Void

      by

      Paul W. Fairman

      Illustrated by W. E. Terry

      Holloway was used to big game hunters and their expeditions to other worlds. But this trip was sheer madness—a space ship stalking among—

      he examiner looked doubtful and said, But Mr. Holloway, regulations require that I read your log before I take verbal testimony.

      Holloway's face was drawn and ravaged. His bloodshot eyes sat in black pits. They were trained on the Examiner but looked through him rather than at him.

      The Examiner, holding up a hand of protest, looked like a man directing traffic. Please, Mr. Holloway—please. We must remember regulations.

      Holloway's eyes closed for a moment but he resolutely forced them open as though afraid of something.

      The scene was Holloway's two-room suite in the Space Port Hotel. There were three men present—Holloway, skipper of the Space King, John Mason, Port Resident, and Merle Kennedy, Section Examiner for the
