November 23, 2012June 14, 2017 Mark Watson 0 Comments Paul Di Filippo

Gud #1, Autumn 2007

August 29, 2007December 13, 2016 Mark Watson 0 Comments

You can buy the PDF version online for only $3.50, which is pretty good value for money, and you’ll get much more sustenance, and fewer spots than if you spend that money on a Big Mac with Fries and a shake. Heck, there’s even lesbian sex in this issue!

Graham Joyce. TWOC. PS Publishing, 2005.

February 23, 2005December 13, 2016 Mark Watson 0 Comments Graham Joyce

This story will stick in the mind, with Joyce creating some eminently solid three-dimensional characters.

Paul Di Filippo. A Year in Linear City. PS Publishing, 2003.

February 23, 2003June 14, 2017 Mark Watson 0 Comments Paul Di Filippo

There is more invention in this short story than I have come across in a long, long time. A shoo-in for the next Year’s Best collections.

Paul J. McAuley. Making History. PS Publishing 2003.

February 23, 2003June 14, 2017 Mark Watson 0 Comments Paul J. McAuley

‘Making History’ is a more thoughtful, human story than others in the sequence, although does suffer slightly as being more of a sequence, and quite possible, the foundation for a novelisation. The ending leaves plenty of scope for future developments.

Stirring stuff, with the ending, in which the two humans stand there helpless, almost reaching the peaks of Arthur C Clarke (one to whom Baxter is often compared).
