Asimov's Science Fiction, December 2008 [MultiFormat]
by Dell Magazine Authors
|
|
December is an issue inspired by the myriad pleasures of music, as evidenced by David Ira Cleary's cover story. A washed-up grunge band seek to spread a message of peace through their music, despite the evident risks to life and flannel-bedecked limb, in an area of civil unrest. Their earnest protest songs don't quite come off as they've planned and they must come to terms with unintended effects on both the members of their band and their listeners, all the while threatened by a horrifying new ... more info>> (Published: 2009)

With our December issue we've changed our trim size and tweaked the look of the interior a little. What hasn't changed, though, is the lavish variety of crime fiction we offer each month. Alice A. and Ernest B. Brown bring back their intrepid Boston P.I. Valerie Dymond in "Haven't Seen You Since the Funeral" (excerpted here). Gilbert M. Stack shows us what a criminal trial in Medieval England looked like in "Guilt" (excerpted here). R. T. Lawton's hapless crooks return for another caper in "Gr... more info>> (Published: 2008)

The first thing you'll notice about our December issue is a new look, but don't worry: what's inside is the same magazine you look forward to each month. Like everyone else these days, we've had to look at ways to deal with the rapidly rising costs of production and distribution. Our choices boiled down to two: a new format with fewer but bigger pages, allowing us to offer very close to the same amount of content while producing it more economically; or a substantial increase in subscription and... more info>> (Published: 2008)

Next month (our November issue) we begin another mind-stretching serial by Robert J. Sawyer, with a cover by George Krauter. In Wake, the term "mind-stretching," often heard in connection with science fiction, applies a bit more literally than usual, with several minds stretching themselves--and each other--in literally unprecedented ways. All minds operate under limitations, which can be overcome by a variety of means; but probably all of those approaches have one thing in common. And the possi... more info>> (Published: 2008)

Whether they be world-weary cops who have seen every horror imaginable or brilliant but misanthropic ratiocinative detectives, characters in crime stories are often somewhat set apart from their neighbors. Several of this month's stories feature characters blessed and burdened with a degree of isolation. Shunned by the New York auction houses after she helped put a shady dealer in jail, antiques appraiser Josie Prescott has relocated to the seacoast of New Hampshire. In Jane K. Cleland's "Killin... more info>> (Published: 2008)

Our October issue features two quite different novelettes: "New Wineskins," by Richard A. Lovett and Mark Niemann-Ross, and "Stealing Adriana," by Dave Creek. One is chillingly plausible and close to home, about a journalist who wanders into a scene that seems a little too idyllic to be true--and it is, concealing a sinister new twist on a (relatively) old problem. The other is distant and exotic, in time, distance, and technology, a tale of new human abilities at cross purposes on an alien worl... more info>> (Published: 2008)

Our September issue features "The Last Temptation of Katerina Savitskaya" (which some readers may recognize as a follow-on to Henry G. Stratmann's "The Paradise Project," though that's not a prerequisite). Confront two people with a very big, very mysterious artifact, and they may react to it quite differently, depending on their characters and backgrounds. If it offers new powers, they'll have to decide what to do with them--but there's one decision they can't make....
