eBook Description: Acclaimed British writer Brian Stableford returns with a sequel to his visionary novella "The Plurality of Worlds," which ran in the August issue. This time, Sir Francis Drake, but lately returned from a voyage to the Moon in John Dee's ethership, sets out on a seemingly more mundane journey across earthly seas in search of the unknown islands of the South Pacific--but what he finds there, including giant spiders, talking birds, and strangely mutated people is hardly less fantastical than a journey to the Moon, and Drake soon finds himself battling a sinister alien conspiracy that could determine the fate of the human race itself. "Dr. Muffet's Island" is inventive, fanciful, and highly entertaining, so don't miss it! Mary Rosenblum, one of our most popular and prolific contributors, returns with the compelling story of a young man beginning a new life in space who faces challenges and opportunities he never even dreamed of before he turned his face to the "Breeze from the Stars"; Jim Grimsley shows us that sometimes it's better not to remember what you've forgotten, in the disquieting story of "The Sanguine"; new writer Deborah Coates shows us the price of living so that you always have a "Chainsaw on Hand"; British writer Colin P. Davies teaches us the value of words in a status-conscious future society, in "Babel 3000"; Bruce McAllister, one of the most critically acclaimed writers of the eighties, demonstrates that he hasn't lost his touch by deftly relating the tale of a man who must spend his life wrestling with "The Lion"; and new writer Matthew Johnson takes us sideways in time to an evocative alternate world where Unreason wrestles with Reason itself over an issue of "Public Safety." Robert Silverberg bends his considerable powers toward "Resurrect-ing the Quagga"; Paul Di Filippo brings us "On Books"; and James Patrick Kelly's "On the Net" column makes an attempt to distinguish between "The Living and the Dead"; plus an array of cartoons, poems, and other features. Cortex-coddling stories by Lucius Shepard, Karen Joy Fowler, Allen M. Steele, Kit Reed, Lisa Goldstein, Neal Asher, Michael Swanwick, Mike Resnick, Nancy Kress, Gene Wolfe, Robert Silverberg, Robert Reed, Jack McDevitt, Jack Skillingstead, Elizabeth Bear, and many others! On sale until October 30, 2007!
