Asimovs, January 2005
Hmmm, the first post-Dozois issue. Having to cope with that change alongside the Interzone change, don’t these people realise that a high proportion of SF readers are borderline autistic, and can’t handle change very well? Susan Palwick. The Fate of Mice. The mouse in question is Rodney, a lab mouse. But not your common or [...]
Asimovs, April/May 2004
William Barton. Moments of Inertia. Barton is one name I look out for in Asimovs, as his stories invariably stand out. This is a particularly interesting story as in the intro we learn that after starting the story Barton has an initial diagnosis of a fatal disease, which turned out to be incorrect. Subsequently finishing [...]

Reviewed : MobiPocket version on a Tapwave Zodiac. John Barnes. The Little White Nerves Went Last.

Joe Haldeman. Camouflage. Novel serialisation – Part I of III. Story illustration by Wolf Read, and, to be frank, if Analog can’t/won’t spend the money on decent illustrations for their stories perhaps they should follow Asimovs’ lead and do without? Grey Rollins. Greater Fleas Have Lesser Fleas. (The story illustration by Broeck Steadman is of [...]
Analog Science Fiction and Science Fact, May 2003
Steven Bratman. The Immortality Plague. In his editorial in the May issue of Asimovs, Robert Silverberg relates at length (and with relish) a reference book – ‘Science Fiction: the Gernsback Years’, published by Kent State University Press in 1998, and edited by Everett F. Bleiler and Richard J. Bleiler. This volume, all 700 pages, provides [...]
Analog Science Fiction and Science Fact, January 2003
Daniel Hatch. Seed of Destiny. A story set on the same world as the author’s ‘Seed of Reason’ (Analog, April 1999). Jerome Sullivan is a young human going through that awkward phase between adolescence and adulthood, which humanity has obviously been unable to remove from our genetic makeup in the centuries ahead. He is on [...]
