eBook Description: ON SALE UNTIL JANUARY 31, 2005
The January 2005 issue is the first issue with new editor Sheila Williams's name on the masthead, and so an important milestone and new beginning in the history of the magazine. So let's see what Sheila's going to bring this month. The cover story is by multiple Hugo and Nebula-winner Connie Willis, the most honored author in the history of the field, who returns with a new novella that gives us a shrewd and amusing look at the world of phony psychics, mediums, and channelers, where some bizarre surprises await a pair of intrepid skeptics who attempt to investigate a very unusual "Inside Job." But that's not all, by any means.
Critically acclaimed author Susan Palwick returns after too long an absence with a bittersweet and funny look at "The Fate of Mice," told from a peculiar viewpoint (one of the mice!); Hugo- and Nebula-winner Larry Niven warns us about the dangers, some subtle and some not-so-subtle, of hanging out with the "Rhinemaidens"; Bruce McAllister, one of the most respected figures in eighties SF, returns after much too long an absence to describe a boy's cryptic relationship with a "Water Angel"; Phillip C. Jennings gives us a ringside seat, maybe a bit TOO close for comfort, for the "Invasion of the Axbeaks"; and new writer Matthew Jarpe takes us along on a suspenseful guided tour of the "City of Reason."
Robert Silverberg's "Reflections" column delivers the news that "Gardner Moves On"; Paul Di Filippo brings us "On Books"; and a special feature by Roger Ebert, the most famous movie reviewer on television, examines his roots as an SF fan, as he discusses "How Propeller-Heads, BNFs, Sercon Geeks, Newbies, Recovering GAFIAtors, and Kids in Basements Invented the World Wide Web, All Except for the Delivery System"; plus an array of other features. Printable in PDF format.
