| − | '''''Orbit Science Fiction''''' was a digest-sized magazine that ran for a total of only five issues during [[1953]]-1954. The editor credited on the masthead was [[Jules Saltman]], but [[Donald A. Wollheim]] bought all the stories published. At the time [[Wollheim]] was working at [[Ace Books]] and this accounts for his anonymity.

Dick]], [[Chad Oliver]], [[Alfred Coppel]], [[Gordon R. Dickson]], [[Michael Shaara]], [[Jack Vance]], and [[Wollheim]] himself (under his Martin Pearson and [[David Grinnell]] bylines).
