Instead of closing down the British version, which had growing circulation, Nova decided to continue publishing it with new material.
[1] Shaw was the editor of an American sf magazine, Science Fiction Adventures, which Stein's company, Royal Publications, was planning to launch at the end of the year.
[1] Carnell's plan was to use longer stories in the British SF Adventures, and the first issue included three novelettes from the June and September 1957 American magazine: Cyril Kornbluth's "The Slave", Robert Silverberg's "Chalice of Death" (under his "Calvin M. Knox" pseudonym), and Algis Budrys's "Yesterday's Man".
[1] Notable fiction included J. G. Ballard's The Drowned World, Michael Moorcock's The Blood Red Game, and John Brunner's Times Without Number, published as series of short stories.
Carnell hoped this would be a temporary hiatus, but the following year Nova went out of business, and Science Fiction Adventures was never revived.
