In 1953, Ray Palmer began a 10-issue run of UNIVERSE SCIENCE FICTION digest pulp magazine. This third issue featured stories by L. Sprague de Camp, Isaac Asimov, Gene L. Henderson, George H. Smith, Poul Anderson, Gordon Dickson, Holly Wolcott, F. L. Wallace, William T. Powers, and Eando Binder. This is a facsimile reprint of that December 1953 publication.
