In this issue

An Owomoyela’s blockbuster tale about “The Charge and the Storm” anchors our February 2016 issue. In an effort to survive among aliens in an inhospitable environment, most people have compromised much of their humanity. Now comes the inevitable conflict with those who continue to cherish individual human value. You won’t want to miss this tense and provocative story.

February is an issue of firsts. Esteemed author Michael Libling makes his first appearance in our pages with a bittersweet portrait of “The Grocer’s Wife”; fellow esteemed author Sean McMullen’s first tale for us is a chilling examination of some “Exceptional Forces”; while new author Sarah Gallien makes her professional debut with the unsettling story of “In Equity.” Bruce McAllister returns to Asimov’s with a heart-breaking attempt at “Bringing them Back”; Sandra McDonald absconds to the Everglades to investigate “The Monster of 1928”; and Nick Wolven invents novel
obstacles for teens coming of age during “Passion Summer.”

Long ago on a New York City subway platform, Robert Silverberg had an odd vision of Famous Fantastic Mysteries. In Reflections, he ponders the significance of that encounter; novels by Paolo Bacigalupi, Cecilia Holland, Naomi Novik, Gene Wolfe, Edward M. Lerner, and Samuel R. Delany will be insightfully reviewed in Peter Heck’s On Books column; plus we’ll have an array of poetry and other features you’re sure to enjoy.
