Michael A. Burstein leads off our September issue with “Sanctuary,” a tense novella about the kind of problem that can arise when two very different cultures are forced into a high-stakes interaction. What do you do—and what do “they” do—when a refugee from one group’s version of justice seeks protection under the auspices of another culture’s most deeply established institutions? Especially when both cultures’ principles are based on long and careful consideration of their people’s nature and needs—but those natures and needs are themselves quite different? To paraphrase the old saw, one man’s basic need may be another’s abomination. . . .
Meteorologist Kevin Walsh offers an unusual fact article, “Water World, Glacier World, Dust World,” using computer simulations to survey the wide range of “terrestrial” worlds that might result from slightly different values of basic astronomical parameters. And we have a wide variety of stories by such writers as Grey Rollins, Larry Niven, Kevin J. Anderson, Carl Frederick, and Jerry Oltion.
