Why mention this? Because next issue, after more than half a decade, the saurs return. We'll be bringing you Richard Chwedyk's "The Man Who Put the Bomp"—an all-new novella full of saurs and voom.

If that weren't enough (and, honestly, that could probably be enough) the issue will also introduce Baldemar, a young wizard's henchman. It's the start of a new series in Matthew Hughes's Archonate universe. Plus there will be stories by other writers familiar to our regular readers, including Eleanor Arnason, Cat Hellisen, and James Sallis, as well as work by Hazra Arundhati and Ingrid Garcia, who will be making their F&SF debuts, along with all our other regular columns and features. If you haven't renewed your subscription lately, now is a great time.
