Analog Science Fiction and Fact - March 2015

Bu sayıda

The March issue opens with “Tasha’s Failsafe,” a sequel to Adam-Troy Castro’s AnLab-award-winning novella, “With Unclean Hands.” Andrea Cort is back and as damaged as ever, but she’ll have to push through her personal idiosyncrasies if she’s going to uncover a double agent whose identity is stored in the comatose mind of an old frenemy.

Our fact article for the issue is the descriptively titled, “Five Wagers on What Intelligent Life Elsewhere in the Universe Will Be Like,” by BYU biology professor, Steven L. Peck.

Moving back to fiction, we also have pieces such as Marissa K. Lingen’s “Blue Ribbon,” wherein a group of quarantined children must survive by wits (and science projects) alone; “Immense Darkness,” by Eric James Stone, which looks at the boundaries for the ethical treatment of AI; “Phenolfaerie,” a Probability Zero by Jay Werkheiser very much in the spirit of de Camp and Pratt; and more, like “Karma Among the Cloud Kings,” by Brian Trent; “Second Birthday,” by Elisabeth R. Adams; “Brigas Nunca Mais,” by Martin Shoemaker; “The Badges of Her Grief” by Andrew Barton; “The Extraordinary Extraterrestrial Togo Mouse of Ghana” by Ryan W. Norris; “The Odds,” by Ron Collins; and “Sentience Signified,” by J.L. Forrest, as well as our usual assortment of top-notch columns.
