Asimov's Science Fiction, September 2010
Tempestuous weather is forecast for our September issue. Our first stop is Venus, where Hugo and Nebula Award winner and NASA scientist Geoffrey A. Landis escorts us on a wild ride full of pirates, intrigue, and the stunning scenery of the second planet's upper atmosphere and introduces us to "The Sultan of the Clouds." The roiling skyscapes in this novella are gloriously captured by Jeroen Advocaat's dramatic cover art. If the clouds were Terran and the air-borne kayak was a two-seater biplane,... more info>>

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, October 2010
Our October issue again includes a variety of human-alien contact stories. John G. Hemry's lead novella, with the deceptively simple title "The Rift," deals with two different kinds of alienness: one within a species, and one between ours and another that has started behaving in a way startlingly (and lethally) different from what human colonists have come to expect. The question, of course, is why, and what can be done about it. The answer requires understanding each side from its own point of ... more info>>

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, September 2010
Our September issue features a couple of decidedly unusual and decidedly different kinds of alien contact stories. David D. Levine's "Pupa," as its name suggests, shows a highly charged incident in international politics from the viewpoint of someone too young--and otherwise immature--to participate in it in a conventional way, but uniquely placed to play a pivotal role. Stories told from an alien viewpoint are one of the hardest kinds to pull off, but I think you'll find this an outstanding and... more info>>

Asimov's Science Fiction, August 2010
Three big novelettes form the centerpiece of our August issue, perfect for the beach or poolside, (and the cabana, if you don't care for the sun). The first features the return of recent Asimov's discovery Gregory Norman Bossert and his "Slow Boat"--the boat here is on its leisurely way to Mars containing a most unwilling passenger, a young woman threatened with interplanetary exile for her hackerly ways. Can she, with little but her own wits, turn the tides on her mysterious captors? Next, in "... more info>>

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, July-August 2010
Our July/August double issue takes full advantage of its extra space to offer a range of features that wouldn't fit in a regular issue. Bob Eggleton's cover heralds "Doctor Alien's Five Empty Boxes," a new novella by Rajnar Vajra about the psychiatrist (introduced last year) who has to treat troubled extraterrestrials--without knowing what they consider "normal." In this one he has an added challenge, related to the venerable observation that things are seldom what they seem. . . . We'll also ... more info>>

Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, October 2010
The stories in this month's issue are equally divided between s eries installments and stand-alones. Readers and publishers alike enjoy series characters, but they present writers with particular challenges. Each story must be self-contained and the characters reintroduced for the sake of the first time reader, while series fans want to enjoy some character development as well as the pleasure of seeing a familiar sleuth solve new problems in his or her inimitable way. Stand-alones are less cons... more info>>

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, May 2010
It's not uncommon to hear a gripping story described as a "page turner," but next month (May) we have a real one for you: "Page Turner" is its name. It's by Rajnar Vajra, so it won't surprise you to hear that it's not quite like anything you've ever read. But neither will it surprise you to find that, despite its close-to-home setting, it weaves a fascinating array of ideas, offbeat characters, and distinctly unordinary happenings into something uniquely exotic, highly entertaining, and memorabl... more info>>

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, April 2010
Given that our issues actually appear several weeks before the nominal date on the cover, we face a perennial dilemma in scheduling "seasonal" stories and articles: Do they belong in the issue named for the month containing the relevant holiday, or the issue appearing closest to the actual date? Next month we face this question twice, with a linked story and article.

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, March 2010
Shane Tourtellotte has for some time been exploring, in his "First Impressions" series, the possible ramifications and ethical dilemmas that would be opened up by a technology that allows people to literally change their minds--or other people's. The obvious first applications would be in psychotherapy or criminal rehabilitation, but how far might the trend go? "Of One Mind," in our March issue, brings the series to its logical (and scary) conclusion. A great deal of human effort and activity ha... more info>>

Vincent Di Fate’s cover for our June issue illustrates "The Anunnaki Legacy," a far-ranging adventure by relative newcomer Bond Elam. What do you do if you’re a long way into a quest so big, for a goal based on evidence so tenuous, that you don’t even know whether the agencies supporting you still really do? And what if you then find that what you were looking for is not what you thought it was, but something even stranger? Then your response can’t be what you thought it would be. . . .

Asimov's Science Fiction, April-May 2010
Our April/May double issue is "dimensionally transcendental"--bigger on the inside than it appears to be on the outside--and we're still trying to figure out how we managed to cram three big novellas inside, as well as a host of shorter works and the usual columns.

Asimov's Science Fiction, July 2010
Our July issue features a sprawling new novella by reader favorite Robert Reed--and it's sprawling in both size and the reach of its farfuture extrapolation. In "A History of Terraforming" Reed examines the multi-multi-generational journey of some very long-lived humans and their valiant (and sometimes catastophic and nefarious) schemes to make our Solar System a more habitable place. Along the way, we follow an earnest scientist, Simon, on his journey through some of the most inhospitable envir... more info>>
