eBook Description: 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 method of chemical terrorism, "The Flowers of Nicosia." Featuring a fabulous new cover by the inimitable J.K. Potter.
Melanie Tem and Steve Rasnic Tem return with "In Concert," a wistful tale of an elderly woman who somehow manages to establish mental contact with a lost and possibly doomed astronaut; Tim Sullivan takes us "Way Down East" with a crew of lobster fishermen hired to set sail with a very strange cargo on a day-trip that will change all of their lives forever; Kathryn Lance and Jack McDevitt bid a hesitant Richard Wagner "Welcome to Valhalla"; Steven Utley proves that "Perfect Everything" probably isn't such a great boon at all; and Geoffrey A. Landis celebrates the auspicious anniversary of one of literature's great classics, "Still On the Road" after all these years.
Robert Silverberg continues his appreciation of Murray Leinster's vast talent in his "Reflections" column, "A Logic Named Will"; Peter Heck brings us "On Books"; plus an array of poetry you'll enjoy. Look for our December issue at your newsstand on October 7, 2008.
