OUR JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2010 “DOUBLE” ISSUE
Our January/February 2010 “double” issue marks the 80th anniversary of this magazine, the oldest of its kind and still a leader in its field. We mark the occasion with a special essay by Ben Bova, the only being in the Universe (literally!) who progressed from being a regular reader of Astounding (as it was known for its first 30 years), to writing for it, then editing it (to wide acclaim), and then returned to being a writer and reader—so he has a genuinely unique perspective. And, of course, we celebrate with an extra-generous dose and wide variety of fiction, including three of the big pieces that are hard to fit in a regular issue. All of those are new entries in popular series—Richard A. Lovett’s “Floyd and Brittney,” H. G. Stratmann’s “Paradise Project” on Mars, and Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s “Retrieval Artist”—but all also break substantial and thought-provoking new ground. We also have stories by other authors both new and familiar, including Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, Michael F. Flynn, Mike Resnick (with collaborator Lezli Robyn), and Eric James Stone.
The extra room in the double issue also lets us do extra things in the nonfiction area: two fact articles (on the nature of culture and the non-identical nature of twins), and two special features (Ben Bova’s aforementioned memoir, and another of Richard A. Lovett’s helpful bits of advice on the art of storytelling). All of which makes a package with plenty for everybody...
