Analog Science Fiction and Fact, October 2008 [MultiFormat]
by Dell Magazine Authors
|
|
Our October issue features two quite different novelettes: "New Wineskins," by Richard A. Lovett and Mark Niemann-Ross, and "Stealing Adriana," by Dave Creek. One is chillingly plausible and close to home, about a journalist who wanders into a scene that seems a little too idyllic to be true--and it is, concealing a sinister new twist on a (relatively) old problem. The other is distant and exotic, in time, distance, and technology, a tale of new human abilities at cross purposes on an alien worl... more info>> (Published: 2008)

Our September issue features "The Last Temptation of Katerina Savitskaya" (which some readers may recognize as a follow-on to Henry G. Stratmann's "The Paradise Project," though that's not a prerequisite). Confront two people with a very big, very mysterious artifact, and they may react to it quite differently, depending on their characters and backgrounds. If it offers new powers, they'll have to decide what to do with them--but there's one decision they can't make....

One of science fiction's greatest hidden treasures, Neal Barrett, Jr., returns with the lead story of our August issue. In "Radio Station St. Jack" Barrett directs his sights, as in many of his best stories, to yet another post-apocalypse, one in which Father Mac must somehow protect his radio station, his faithful flock, and the nun he loves, from Bob the Destroyer's rampaging raiders, (and hopefully preserve his own tender posterior in the process).

Our two annual double issues always offer plenty of "extras," and this year's July/August issue features something especially extraordinary. Back in the early 1980s a completely unknown writer named David R. Palmer made a huge splash here with his very first story, "Emergence," featuring Candy Smith-Foster, one of the most memorable people many of our readers had ever met on or off the printed page.
