Asimov's Science Fiction - September 2013

في هذا العدد

Death has newly become “The Discovered Country” in Ian R. MacLeod’s suspenseful September 2013 novelette. This story of romance and deception takes us about as far into the Great Beyond as we are likely to get in our lifetimes. You’ll be dying to learn how the tale turns out!

The rest of September is crammed full of short stories and novelettes. Benjamin Crowell shows us how uncontrolled copyright law could destroy civilization as we know it and punch “A Hole in the Ether”; an alien invasion is described from an unusual viewpoint in Dominica Phetteplace story about “What Changes You, What Takes You Away”; while Jay O’Connell lets us know that we just might survive the invasion as long as we can find “That Universe We Both Dreamed of”: “A Stranger from a Foreign Ship” has a brutal adventure in Tom Purdom’s short story; Leah Cypess’ teens discover a new way to appreciate “What We Ourselves Are Not”; and with “The Unparallel’d Death-Defying Feats of Astoundio, Escape Artist Extraordinaire,” Ian Creasey wins the prize for the tale with the longest name in the issue. Fortunately, James Sallis’s first story for us in close to thirty years is “As Yet Untitled.”
