The hits keep coming as F&SF heads into winter. Among the stories we've got lined up are:

• "Object Three" by James L. Cambias, the epitome of the science fiction story about an object in space.
• "Umbrella Men" by John G. McDaid, a subtle tale that will change the way you look at that gamp by the door.
• "One Year of Fame" by Robert Reed, about a small town with an unusual resident.

We've also got new stories in inventory by Michael Alexander, Michael Blumlein, C. S. Friedman, Carolyn Ives Gilman, Alexander Jablokov, Lewis Shiner, K. D. Wentworth, and lots more.
