Reviews

E.J. Swift. The Complex. (Interzone #238, Jan/Feb 2012)
A first-published story by Swift, and it’s a good one, showing more assurance that you often get.
Eric Del Carlo. Friendlessness. (Asimovs January 2012)
Social ineptitude covered in a story which zips through quite quickly and fairly obviously.
Carol Johnstone. God of the Gaps. (Interzone #238, Jan-Feb 2010).
A story that starts with xeno-monsters leaping out of every corridor, but having survived that theme park activity, things take a turn for the worse.
Tyler Keevil. Fearful Symmetry. (Interzone #238, Jan-Feb 2012)
A taut finish in a science thriller that delivers what it sets out to.
Jack McDevitt. Maiden Voyage. (Asimovs January 2012)
Readers familiar with McDevitt’s ‘Academy’ novels will doubtless be particularly pleased to read a story featuring the early days of Priscilla Hutchins, who is evidently a central figure in the six novels.
Katherine Marzinsky. Recyclable Material. (Asimovs January 2012)
First published story for Marzinsky, a short (just over 1000 words) one in which a robot follows its programming. Fortunately.
Ray Cluley. Fata Morgana. (Interzone #238 Jan-Feb 2012)
Cluley creates a vivid setting with some great imagery and detail, and provides a story that demands a sequel.
