Sinopsis

This issue features original mysteries by O’Neil De Noux and Shannon Taft (thanks to our Acquiring Editors, Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman), a Gil Brewer crime classic, and another entry in the Biff Brewer mystery series by Andy Adams. And what issue would be complete without a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles?
 
On the more fantastic side of things, you might say things have gone to the birds…we have a pair of classic avian-themed stories by Cordwainer Smith and Richard McKenna. But we also have a terrific Norman Spinrad short, about the effects of virtual entertainment on actors, and Darrell Schweitzer contributes a poignant tale of a man whose father has delusional battles against the dreaded Zeppelin Gang. Or are they delusions?
 
And a few issues ago, I promised more of the humorous Toffee tales from Charles F. Myers. Well, in my research through the pulps, I only looked at titles…imagine my surprise when The Shades of Toffee turned out to be a novel, instead of a short story! Here it is. More Toffee shorts (I assume they’re short) will follow in future issues.
 
Here’s the complete lineup:
 
Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:
 
“The James Mason Effect,” by O’Neil De Noux [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Clue in the Conservatory,” Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“A Tail of Justice,” by Shannon Taft [Barb Goffman Presents short story]“The Gesture,” by Gil Brewer [classic short story]The Mystery of the Caribbean Pearls, by Andy Adams [novel, Biff Brewer series]
 
Science Fiction & Fantasy:
 
“A Man of the Theater,” by Norman Spinrad [short story]“Fighting the Zeppelin Gang,” by Darrell Schweitzer [short story]“The Night of Hoggy Darn,” by Richard McKenna [classic short story]“From Gustible’s Planet,” by Cordwainer Smith [classic short story]The Shades of Toffee, by Charles F. Myers [novel, Toffee series]

    They called her “healer’s whelp.” Low-rank. Tainted. Unfit to stand near a crown.But on the night of the Moon-Moot, Eira Thorne feels the mate-bond snap into place like a brand—hot, undeniable, sacred under old law. For one heartbeat, she thinks the pack will finally be forced to see her.Then Rurik Blackthorne looks her dead in the eye and forsakes her.He names Lady Isolde Ashriver as his Luna-to-be. He casts Eira beyond the Briarline with no shelter, no mercy, and a bond-scar that still pulls at her ribs like a chain.Exile should mean distance.Instead, it wakes something ancient.A pale crescent blooms on Eira’s wrist—quiet as a bruise, sharp as a promise—and suddenly the shadows beyond the border aren’t random. They’re waiting. Hunting. Closing in for what her blood might be worth.With danger snapping at her heels and truth buried under pack politics, Eira has only one way forward: stop begging to be chosen… and start taking back what was stolen.Because if she really is a queen, they don’t get to throw her away.
