Our April issue offers quite a variety of stories, of all shapes, sizes, and flavors. At one extreme is Adam-Troy Castro’s “Gunfight On Farside,” a striking case study in why “what everybody knows” isn’t necessarily what is. At the other end are a trio of quite different short stories by Eric James Stone, Jerry Oltion, and H. G. Stratmann. In between we have a pair of contrastingly quirky novelettes by Mark Rich and Mary Turzillo, with the contrastingly quirky titles of “Foe” and “Steak Tartare and the Cats of Gari Babakin.”

In the science fact department, astronomer Kevin Walsh returns with another of his looks at the ever-expanding diversity of planets that we’re finally learning exist—or could exist—out there. This time his topic is “Ribbonland,” a kind of world long favored by science fiction writers on which habitability is confined to one or more bands of latitude. Just how habitable would those be, and what surprises might they have up their metaphorical sleeves? Read our April issue and find out . . .
