Asimov's Science Fiction, June 2004 Summary
|
ONLY ON SALE UNTIL JUNE 30, 2004Private eyes have traditionally had to venture all alone down Mean Streets, and next issue Hugo Award-winner James Patrick Kelly returns to walk us down some very strange Mean Streets in a bizarre future dominated by some enigmatic, unpredictable, and totally ruthless aliens, a world where human existence as we now know it has been turned completely on its head by alien whim, and where a PI reluctantly investigating a politically touchy case bites off far more than she can chew, including the knowledge that "Men Are Trouble." This Future Noir novelette is vivid, inventive, constantly surprising, and highly entertaining, and is likely to be talked about as one of the year's best stories--so don't miss it! Nebula and Hugo-winner Nancy Kress takes us to the far-future for an evocative glimpse of "My Mother, Dancing"; Lois Tilton takes us back to a slightly sideways-in-time version of Ancient Rome to listen in on a momentous interview in "The Gladiator's War: A Dialog"; new British writer Neal Asher makes a hard-hitting Asimov's debut with the tale of the deadly problems faced by "The Veteran" in a hostile high-tech world; Robert R. Chase returns with a suspenseful look at what happens when you're forced to take a "Turing Test," with your own existence on the line; new writer Paul Melko makes a fascinating Asimov's debut with the story of a very strange visitor to a very quiet neighborhood, and the implications of his visit for the entire planet, in "Fallow Earth"; Ruth Berman dares to dig up "The Buried Sword," with some very spooky consequences; and new writer Lena DeTar makes an evocative Asimov's debut, taking us to a newly colonized future Mars, where a young woman must face the dangers of "Steep Silence" if she is to unravel a deadly mystery a generation old. Robert Silverberg's "Reflections" column continues with notes "Toward a Theory of Story II: There Is One Story and One Story Only"; and Peter Heck brings us "On Books"; plus an array of poems and other features.
