Key Word Search: Analog Science Fiction

Our September issue features a wide variety of stories that turn familiar ideas and situations on their heads, challenging you to think about them in new and perhaps uncomfortable (but entertaining) ways. Richard A. Lovett’s “A Pound of Flesh,” for example, offers a scary way an old truism might be put to all-too-practical use. Rajnar Vajra’s “A Million Years and Counting” stars a protagonist as outrageously alien as you’ve seldom seen elsewhere but likely come to expect from Vajra—yet in the end perhaps much more familiar than some would like to admit. John G. Hemry’s “Kyrie Eleison” is a tale of reunion in an age when humanity has expanded far beyond the Earth, wherein a rescue team discover a startling example of “making do” twisted to sinister new ends.

Kyle Kirkland’s fact article is “The Right Stuff: Materials for Aerospace and Beyond.” What you can build depends, of course, on what materials you have available to work with—and we’re just now seeing the beginnings of some new ones that are not only very exotic, but very “talented.” Finally, of course, we have the sweeping conclusion of Edward M. Lerner’s four-part novel A New Order of Things.
