| Beyond Apollo, Barry N. Malzberg's novel of a NASA mission to Venus gone terribly and mysteriously awry, was published by Random House in l972 and won the first John W. Campbell Memorial Award the following year. Two astronauts depart on a Venus expedition, upon their return, one astronaut is missing and the survivor, Harry M.
