June’s blockbuster cover story is a novella from John W. Campbell Award-winning author Mary Robinette Kowal. Follow homicide detectives Scott Huang and his AI partner Metta as they attempt to prevent another murder. The stakes are high and the detectives have to move fast if they’re going to save something that may be even more precious than life. You’re sure to be captivated by Metta, who can customize her interface for each officer, but who chooses to be a certain silver screen starlet for Huang.

ISSUE |
In addition to this nearly novel-length tale, we’ve managed to cram five other stories into the same issue. Ian R. MacLeod’s novelette combines a near balletic sense of the martial arts with the harsh reality of “The Cold Step Beyond”; Carol Emshwiller explores what it’s like to grow up knowing only “All the News That’s Fit”; in his first story for Asimov’s, Alan DeNiro takes us on a unique road trip, one that our heroes might survive if they can get past “The Walking Stick Fires”; Colin P. Davies returns with a short story both funny and poignant about the last hours in the life of a “Fighter”; and Felicity Shoulders explores the corporate world of fighters and survivors who must all play the “Apocalypse Daily.”
