Archive for March, 2011

Douglas Lain. Noam Chomsky and the Time Box. (Interzone #232, Jan-Feb 2011)

Lain gives a thinking person’s view on time travel, freed up as he is from not having to get involved with causation conundrums or butterflies or grandfather paradoxes.

Rick Norwood. Long Time. (Fantasy & Science Fiction, Jan/Feb 2011).

You don’t have to be familiar with the fat fantasy novels ‘Bible’ and the more populist sequal ‘Bible II: This Time He Sent His Son’ on which the story draws, but it probably helps.

Asimovs. February 2011.

Stories by Paul McAuley, David Ira Cleary, Sara Genge, Jeff Carlson, Aliette de Bodard, Tim McDaniel, Bill Pronzini & Barry N. Malzberg, and some very good ones amongst them.

Kate Wilhelm. The Bird Cage. (Fantasy & Science Fiction, Jan/Feb 2011).

A science thriller, although perhaps as suspenseful as it might be.

Paul McAuley. The Choice. (Asimovs February 2011)

A taut story in McAuley’s Jackaroo sequence, set in Norfolk, when the consequences of contact with alien technology unfold.

Interzone #231, November/December 2010.

A Jason Sanford special issue, with three stories by him, one by Matthew Cook and one by Aliette de Bodard. And a strong collection of stories.

Jason Sanford. Millisent Ka Plays in Realtime. (Interzone #231, Nov/Dec 2010)

A story with new economics, and more than a hint of the Hans Christian Anderson, well told by Sanford.

Bill Pronzini and Barry N. Malzberg. Eve of Beyond. (Asimovs, February 2011)

Dark days not only for a due to be deceased haberdashery business.

Jason Sanford. Memoria. (Interzone #231, Nov/Dec 2010).
