The lead story in our November issue is a new novella by a writer too long absent from these pages: Barry B. Longyear. I’ll leave you to try to guess exactly what “The Good Kill” is about, telling you only that it involves a wildly different kind of business venture and a wildly different kind of detection, both growing out of a very old tradition practiced in a very new (and occasionally quite silly) way. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, and I’m sure you’ll be entertained.

Shane Tourtellotte’s quietly thought-provoking novelette “Where Lies the Final Harbor?” shows us a future heavily dependent on a profession in which human beings are routinely required to make superhuman sacrifices—which raises the question of how they should be paid.

We also have stories by Carl Frederick, Mike Resnick, and Kevin J. Anderson, those last two in collaboration. The science fact article is also a collaboration, in which space experts Les Johnson and Gregory L. Matloff examine some of the current research that could eventually pave the way for interstellar travel.

Last but by no means least, we have Part II of Robert J. Sawyer’s four-parter Rollback

The Good Kill
by Barry B. Longyear

Changing times can put an end to old traditions––unless they can find untraditional ways to adapt. Very untraditional, in this case…
