eBook Description: ON SALE UNTIL JANUARY 11, 2007 Hugo Award-winner James Patrick Kelly has been featured in every June issue of Asimov's for more than twenty years now, and doesn't let us down this year either, returning next issue with our lead story for June, taking us "backstage" for an insider's look at the problems, pitfalls, and bizarre (and sometimes potentially deadly) complications of putting on the high-tech interactive entertainment of the future, "The Leila Torn Show," all told from a unique perspective--that of the show itself! Popular new writer Jack Skillingstead demonstrates that when you've only got one day, you'd better make it a good one, as he plunges us headlong into "Life on the Preservation"; new writer Beth Bernobich, making her Asimov's debut, unravels a sinister mathematical mystery as she flies with "A Flight of Numbers Fantastique Strange"; Robert Reed, one of our most prolific contributors, returns to delve into the secrets of the strangest show you never saw, as he examines "Eight Episodes"; well-known writer and scientist Rudy Rucker institutes drastic solutions for drastic problems, and we end up all having to deal with the consequences, along with "Chu and the Nants"; new writer Scott William Carter, making his Asimov's debut, takes us to a distant planet for a chilling encounter with "The Tiger in the Garden"; British writer Ian Creasey takes us on a suspenseful hunt for those strange things that live beyond "The Edge of the Map"; and new writer William Preston, making his Asimov's debut, assures us that "You Will Go to the Moon"--whether it's the right thing to do or not. Robert Silverberg's "Reflections" column muses about "Sixtus the Sixth"; Peter Heck brings us "On Books"; and, James Patrick Kelly's "On the Net" column invites us to perk up our ears for some "Adventures in Podcasting"; plus an array of cartoons, poems, and other features. Printable in Acrobat PDF Format.
