January Issue
|
Next issue is our January 2006 issue, the start of another great year of Asimov’s stories, and to kick things off in high gear and fine fashion, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winner Michael Swanwick brings us our lead story for January, “An Episode of Stardust,” taking us along on a train ride to Babylon with a full complement of con-artists, fairies, feys, dwarves, ogres, wheeler-dealers, were-foxes, magic-users, and other exotic—and dangerous—passengers. Set in the evocative milieu of his “King Dragon” and “The Word That Sings the Scythe,” this one is a lot of fun, so don’t miss it!

Also In January
|
Popular and prolific British “hard science” writer Stephen Baxter takes us to the front lines for some suspenseful and horrific action during the “Ghost Wars”; Kim Antieau returns to these pages after a more than twenty year absence to paint a vivid picture of a sunbaked, drought-stricken county whose salvation may depend on the affectivity of the “Storm Poet”; Hugo-winner Allen M. Steele gives us a chilling look at an all-too-possible future world where you just can’t Get Away From It All, even for a moment, no matter how hard you try, in “World Without End, Amen”; new writer David D. Levine returns to invite us to dine at “The Last McDougal’s,” where some long-simmering family trouble is the least-tasty item on the menu; Nebula and World Fantasy Award-winner Carol Emshwiller makes her Asimov’s debut with the tale of a tourist whose vacation lasts one hell of a lot longer than anyone ever counted on, as he deals with the “World of No Return”; and new writer R.R. Angell, making his own Asimov’s debut, tells us about all the things that can happen “In the Space of Nine Lives.”
