Our December 2012 issue

Our lead novella for December, “The Moon Belongs to Everyone,” comes from two relative newcomers to our pages: Michael Alexander and K.C. Ball. It’s a quintessential Analog tale of engineering, adventure, and intrigue on a high frontier—and it’s fortuitously appropriate to at least two holidays, though not necessarily in the ways you might think. Our fact article, “The Seeds of Cancer,” comes from Jim Kling, also new here but thoroughly familiar with his subject. We all know, in a general way, what cancer is, and that it becomes its scariest when it not only grows out of control where it started, but spreads to apparently remote and unconnected parts of the body. Kling gives us an insider’s view of how that happens, and what we might be able to do about it.

Rounding out the issue will be, as usual, a mixed bag of stories varying widely in length, content, and tone, from such writers as Shane Tourtellotte, Paul Carlson (with another in his “Robot Trucker” series), Richard A. Lovett, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, Ken Liu, and Stephen L. Burns.

PrometheusMovie Review: Prometheus
Ridley Scott foreruns his classic and groundbreaking “Alien” with a compelling and existential film that reaches wide, but ultimately fails. Visually and cinematically stunning, “Prometheus” indulges in the action and one-liners that summer moviegoers may be craving while also bringing a sense of eerie irony. It falls prey to many of the pitfalls found in the “genre” formula, yet it holds a bizarre and resonant quality that other blockbusters lack. This is perhaps what makes this film a particular disappointment. If there were no potential, then the letdown would be less stinging. Read more

Moon Belongs to Everyone

The Moon Belongs to Everyone
by Michael Alexander & K.C. Ball
Art by John Allemand

Deadlines help people focus--but not always on the same goals.

Mankind has always ventured into the unknown.

We take risks, accept surprises, and adapt to new experiences. Such quests are worthwhile in and of themselves. They represent one way in which we express the human spirit. This country was built on that willingness to take risks. America is a great nation and a great nation must remain an exploring nation if it wishes to maintain its greatness. Read more
