eBook Description: Our next (January/February) issue is one of our two annual doubles, and leads off with an oversized opening installment of Joe Haldeman's new serial, Marsbound. The title lends itself to at least two interpretations, both of which are at least partly applicable. And while the story does involve Martians, they are, as Joe puts it, "not your grandfather's Martians." You'll see that as soon as you meet them, and likely find them among the most intriguing aliens you've ever encountered. But there's much more to them than meets the eye....

Back in 1998, Tom Ligon had a fact article here called "The World's Simplest Fusion Reactor," which attracted plenty of attention both among our regular readers and "outside." Next month he's back with "The World's Simplest Fusion Reactor Revisited," an in-depth follow-up about bigger and better research along similar lines done by folks including, among others, Robert Bussard.

And, since it's a double issue, we'll have lots more fiction of all shapes and sizes, by such writers as Barry B. Longyear (yes, Jaggers and Shad are back!), Geoffrey A. Landis, Ron Goulart, Wil McCarthy, Jerry Oltion, and Carl Frederick.
