| Summary | "Astounding Stories of Super-Science July 1930" by Various is a collection of science fiction stories written in the early 20th century. This anthology features thrilling tales rooted in imaginative concepts and futuristic scenarios, typical of the speculative fiction genre of that era. The stories delve into themes of scientific discovery, adventure, and the unknown, showcasing the creativity of the period's leading writers in the realm of speculative narratives." "The opening of the collection presents "Beyond the Heaviside Layer" by Capt. S. P. Meek, which follows the character Bond, a reporter assigned to cover the ambitious experiments of Jim Carpenter, a controversial scientist attempting to penetrate the Heaviside layer—a mysterious field thought to be impenetrable by conventional means. As Bond reflects on Carpenter's unconventional theories and past mistakes, he becomes an unwitting participant in an experimental journey that confronts dangerous cosmic phenomena and extraordinary creatures. This initial narrative sets a tone of suspense and wonder, promising readers an exciting exploration of science and its potential perils in a world where anything seems possible."
