Summary: "Astounding Stories of Super-Science January 1930" by Harry Bates et al. is a collection of science fiction tales written in the early 20th century. The magazine introduces readers to imaginative narratives that explore futuristic concepts and fantastical adventures, showcasing the creativity of some of the era's leading speculative fiction writers. The opening portion hints at thrilling and bizarre stories, setting a tone that promises technological wonders, extraordinary settings, and remarkable characters. At the start of the magazine, the editorial section discusses the concept of "astounding" stories in the context of science fiction, emphasizing how ideas that seem impossible can become the norm over time. The first tale, "The Beetle Horde" by Victor Rousseau, begins with explorers Tommy Travers and Jim Dodd in Antarctica, as they embark on a quest to locate the South Pole while discovering a colossal fossilized beetle. The narrative swiftly transitions from scientific exploration to a thrilling encounter with an ancient, monstrous beetle, leading to suspenseful adventures in a mysterious underground world. As they unravel the secrets of this land filled with monstrous insects and strange civilizations, readers are invited to join them on an unpredictable journey of discovery and danger.
