If you’re reading this, you’re probably familiar with “Clarke’s Law,” stating that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” In “Emerald River, Pearl Sky,” the lead novella for our January/February double issue (with a Bob Eggleton cover), Rajnar Vajra takes you to a future in which that takes on a new kind of truth. It’s a colorful, flashy, weird place that might first make you think you’re reading fantasy—but if you know Vajra, you’ll know he has something up his sleeve. I won’t tell you just what, but I will say it includes an exhilarating dose of solid entertaining, as well as a sobering thought for our time. . . .
We have two quite different fact articles: one on why the poles might be good places for lunar settlements and how they might be shielded against radiation, and one by Richard A. Lovett on how we might adapt to running out of oil—including one option you probably haven’t heard much about. Lovett also has a special feature on writing about things you’re not familiar with, plus a short story. That last is just one of an unusually diverse collection of fiction, also featuring stories by such writers as Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Carl Frederick, Grey Rollins, Jerry Oltion, and Stephen L. Burns. And, last but far from least, we have the conclusion of Robert J. Sawyer’s novel, Rollback.
