As we all know, the 1932 story, The Radio War, of how John Farley Pease fought the
Siberians in the year 2000, involved no time travel. But wait! Just how did Ralph Milne
Farley get ahold of the story of the future Pease’s war exploits? That story was told in
the 1934 fanzine, Fantasy Magazine (published by megafans Julius Schwartz, Ray Palmer,
Mortimer Weisinger, and Forry Ackerman) as a missing part of the first chapter of The
Radio War.
In addition to his various tricks of magic, this young Chinaman had another typically
Oriental trait, namely that of being able to commune with his ancestors.
