October 2004
Our October cover story could be considered a little something for the season. "Layna’s Mirror," by Rajnar Vajra, starts out sounding decidedly odd, then reminds you more and more of things you thought you knew, and then reveals things about them that are not at all what you thought. As you’ve probably come to expect from Vajra, it’s colorful, thought-provoking, and full of surprises–and ideas.
Catherine H. Shaffer, who has already made quite an impression with her fact articles here, makes her fiction debut, and Mary A. Turzillo continues her tale of An Old-Fashioned Martian Girl. And this time the fact article comes from Laura M. Kelley, a writer new to our pages, offering a provocative expert view of the global implications of the AIDS epidemic–which are only partly medical.
