This month, we have original science fiction by Saundra Mitchell ("Starfall") and Sam J. Miller ("We Are the Cloud"), along with SF reprints from the new anthologies: MONSTROUS AFFECTIONS (Holly Black's "Ten Rules for Being an Intergalactic Smuggler (the Successful Kind)") and the THE END IS NOW (Tananarive Due's "Herd Immunity"). Plus, we have original fantasy by Sarah Pinsker ("No Lonely Seafarer") and Matthew Hughes ("Under the Scab"), and fantasy reprints by Aliette de Bodard ("Prayers of Forges and Furnaces") and Rhys Hughes ("Eternal Horizon"). All that, and of course we also have our usual assortment of author and artist spotlights, along with feature interviews with authors Mary Robinette Kowal and Diana Gabaldon.

"It was adequate. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. A fair 3 stars."

"An acceptable diversion. Certain acts were fascinating, while others felt like a slight endeavor to complete. Perfectly average."
