Space Adventures #51
Space Adventures #51 This issue appears to be an anthology containing at least two stories. The lead story features a red robot that claims robots are ready to take over the world, convincing humans that they have robot receivers instead of minds—a scheme no one believes until it is too late to stop the invading robots from Earth. A secondary story, presented in text prose form, describes a man's suspicious encounter with George Mednick, a mysterious financial advisor with apparent mind-reading abilities who offers lucrative investment tips and eventually proposes a lifetime contract. A third story involves Captain Weir and military personnel on a space base dealing with sabotage, featuring a confrontation with an unnamed enemy and General Ducklen's involvement in the crisis.
