eBook Description:  Gonzo king Rudy Rucker and Hugo-winner Bruce Sterling join their considerable talents next issue to bring us a big, outrageous, fast-moving and freewheeling novella as our lead story for August, as a pair of out-of-work Special Effects Artists set out on a daring and dazzling journey down the mysterious "Hormiga Canyon," home to some Very Big (and Very Strange) Ants--a trip that will compel them to voyage to the end of time and unearth and master the very secrets of the universe itself! This is a fabulous, over-the-top romp, deliciously audacious, and a lot of fun, so don�t miss it!
Veteran writer Tom Purdom takes us adventuring on the high seas in dangerous sail-and-broadside days when the British Navy was slugging it out with slave traders, and tells the compelling and morally complex story of what you can find when you dare to part "The Mists of Time"; new writer Daryl Gregory warns us that sometimes intense concentration may be too much of a good thing, in a compassionate visit to "Dead Horse Point"; new writer Justin Stanchfield, making his Asimov�s debut, paints a fascinating picture of high-tech exiles of the future, and what happens when, against the rules, a "Prodigal" returns; Kathleen Ann Goonan, returning after too long an absence, dares to venture across "The Bridge" between a doomed past and an enigmatic future; frequent contributor Jack Skillingstead shows us the plight of a woman unfortunate enough to get everything she's ever wished for, in "Thank You, Mr. Whiskers"; and new writer Tim McDaniel, making his Asimov's debut, treats us to a wry look at what goes on in a "Teacher's Lounge," and how it just might save the world!
Robert Silverberg�s "Reflections" column takes a crack at "Decoding Cuneiform"; Peter Heck brings us "On Books"; and James Patrick Kelly�s "On the Net" column explores the "Happy Red Planet"; plus an array of cartoons, poems, and other features.
