Next month we're also going to introduce you to a new writer by the name of Rick Heller. His debut story, "Loyal Puppies," is a fast-moving romp that's a lot of fun.

Of course we'll also have our usual nonfiction features next month, including Robert Killheffer's latest book review and another look at "Nightfall" compliments of science columnists Pat Murphy and Paul Doherty. We're also looking forward to new stories from Ron Goulart, Rick Wilber, R. Garcia y Robertson, M. John Harrison, and N. Lee Wood in the coming months. You never know who might drop by our pages with a new tale to tell---keep your subscription current so you won't miss any of 'em!
