Analog Science Fiction and Fact, June 2012 [MultiFormat]
by Dell Magazine Authors
|
|
 Paul Carlson has been attracting a good deal of attention here with his series of stories about robot truck drivers in the not too distant future, drawing extensively on his own experience (more with trucks than robots, I suspect) to create a really authentic feel of the road--and human reactions to a changing world. Robots are tools, but very special tools; and humans are notoriously good at turning even the finest tools to nefarious ends. Hence the "Crooks" in Carlson's novelette leading off o... more info>> (Published: 2010)

Asimov's Science Fiction, June 2012 [MultiFormat]
by Dell Magazine Authors
|
|
You'll find our June issue suffused with alien life. Whether they are Megan Arkenberg's horrifying home wreckers who would just as soon eat us as help us pass a "Final Exam" or Will McIntosh's alarming "Possible Monsters" who may help an aimless young man discover life's potential, these unknowable creatures help shine light on some of the most intractable aspects of the human condition.
The award for the strangest aliens may go to Bruce McAllister's "Free Range" paean to the counterculture; Bu... more info>> (Published: 2010)

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, May 2012 [MultiFormat]
by Dell Magazine Authors
|
|
Our May issue features two big items: the powerful conclusion of Robert J. Sawyer's and Daniel Hatch's novella "The End of Ordinary Life" (a title that, by the way, could apply equally well to Sawyer's novel!). Major events in history, like revolutions and first contact, are often thought of as dramatic, large-scale confrontations among world leaders and their armies. They can be much quieter--perhaps even unnoticed by most--until they're well underway, but in the end no less dramatic or signifi... more info>> (Published: 2010)

Asimov's Science Fiction, April-May 2012 [MultiFormat]
by Dell Magazine Authors
|
|
April/May is another one of our jam-packed double issues. We've somehow managed to cram two gigantic novellas into this one issue with room left over for a host of terrific short stories. Our cover story is James Patrick Kelly's stand-alone sequel to "Men Are Trouble"--his Nebula nominated tale of an Earth where aliens have expunged all the men. Now the women are about to find out what will happen at "The Last Judgment." The exquisite details in David Ira Cleary's huge new novella may make you ... more info>> (Published: 2010)

by Edmond Hamilton

With the coming of the Nazi invaders, war came once again to the gods; who loved to fight. But how could they know which was the right side? Should they fight Nazis? Edmond Hamilton, a fan favorite, wrote exciting fantastic stories. Gods enlisted against Nazis, journeys into the past, men with wings, gateways in time, mythology are just some of the subjects of these enchanting stories that were first published in the 1930s and 40s.

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, April 2012 [MultiFormat]

In recent years there has been much talk and concern about invasive species--and countertalk about whether "invasive" species are necessarily bad. Susan Forest leads off our April issue with a thought-provoking novelette about "The Most Invasive Species" and the elusive relationship between quality of intentions and quality of results. Craig DeLancey also has a novelette, "Ecce Signum," which is the latest (and last?) in his series about "Marrion's Children," bred and raised for a unique and ver... more info>> (Published: 2010)

Hugo Award Finalist Author. Lost pulp classic out of print over 60 years. Lin Carter, engineer engaged in top secret research, was shaving when the knock came at his apartment door. It could mean an interruption that would make him late for work, he feared - and his fears were realized with a vengeance as a girl so beautiful she was "out of this world" pushed the door open before he could reach it.

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, March 2012 [MultiFormat]
by Dell Magazine Authors
|
|
Our March issue offers two novelettes, quite different in some respects yet both dealing with mysteries, things that aren't what they seem, and familiar patterns in very unfamiliar contexts. Craig DeLancey's "The Ediacarian Machine" starts out as archeology, but the archeologists could never guess where it would lead. Kyle Kirkland's "Upon Their Backs" (which you may recognize as part of a familiar saying) also begins with an archeological air (or is it paleontology or anthropology?), this time ... more info>> (Published: 2010)

Asimov's Science Fiction, March 2012 [MultiFormat]
by Dell Magazine Authors
|
|
The action never lets up in our March lead story by newish author Derek Kanksen. Life may have formed very differently in "The Way of the Needle" than it has on Earth, but the nature of conflict remains the same. It won't be easy to put this fast-paced thriller down. Once you do, though, you can turn to another adventure tale on a distant planet. "Golva's Ascent," a new novelette by Tom Purdom, features intriguing aliens, inscrutable humans, and a desperate flight for survival.

Hunters of the Red Moon [Hunters series 1] [MultiFormat]
by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Paul Edwin Zimmer

For the Hunters, the Hunt was a religion. The Sacred Prey, sentient beings collected from all over the galaxy, were literally given a fighting chance--they were allowed to choose weapons from an armory with every imaginable weapon and given time to train. Then they were taken to the place of the Hunt, where death awaited them. Those who survived until the eclipse of the red moon, however, were honored by the Hunters and rewarded with all the wealth they could desire. The trick, of course, was su... more info>> (Published: 1973)

The SECRET VISITORS [MultiFormat]
by James White

There seemed to be three distinct groups of aliens now. First came the old men, harmless and fanatically uncommunicative, whose behavior had first aroused the department's suspicions. There was the group that had been responsible for the St. Armande fire, a group which almost certainly contained a large number of Earthmen. A third group, possibly of only a few individuals, were opposed to the war-breeding activities of the second group, and they disapproved of their treatment of the old men, who... more info>>

Hugo Award finalist author Rog Phillips launched his career with this then highly controversial science fiction novel. It was a simple little discovery, worked out mathematically - but it made the atom bomb seem inconsequential. The year is 2196, as seen from 1947. Most of humanity has been wiped out - not by atomic war, but by an atomic chain reaction. The rest huddle underground, safe from mutant creatures of all kinds, while struggling to find a way to reverse the process that lad to Earth's ... more info>> Hugo Award Nominee

But, beyond her technical skill, Lynn has changed the landscape of fantasy writing as one of the first authors to incorporate themes of gender and gay relationships into her work.

Given a catastrophe big enough to force practically everybody into hiding, one of the central and most important questions is, "When can you go back out?" It's especially difficult when your hiding place is as unusual as this one, and when you have to stay there long enough to start forgetting what's... more info>> (Published: 2010)
