Synopsis

Our 57th issue opens with an original tale by Mark Thielman, courtesy of acquiring editor Michael Bracken. It does triple-duty as a crime story, a science fiction story, and a dystopian story. All with a great punch. As for our other acquiring editors—Barb Goffman has selected a great tale by Dee Long, and (not to be outdone) Cynthia Ward has a real winner from Chris Willrich. We will have a contribution from Darrell Schweitzer next issue.
 
As if that’s not enough (when is it ever for the Black Cat?), we have gone back to the pulp era for historical mystery novels by Harold Bindloss and Nicholas Carter, and uncovered some classic short science fiction by Damon Knight, Frederik Pohl, and Jerry Shelton. Rounding things out is a rare historical Lost Race fantasy by Crittenden Marriott set in the always-spooky Sargasso Sea.
 
In coming weeks, expect to see more fun, with ghosts & goblins & things that go bump in the night — climaxing with a Halloween Spooktacular issue. Don’t miss it!

    Lifelode is the Mythopoeic Award Winning novel from Hugo, Nebula and World Fantasy Award winning author Jo Walton. It was published in hardcover in 2009 by NESFA Press and is now available for the first time as an audio book. 
    At its heart, Lifelode is the story of a comfortable manor house family. The four adults of the household are happily polyamorous, each fulfilling their ‘lifelode’ or life’s purpose: Ferrand is the lord of the manor, his sweetmate Taveth runs the household, his wife Chayra makes ceramics, and Taveth’s husband Ranal works the farm. Their children are a joyful bunch, running around in the sunshine days of the harvest and wondering what their own lifelodes will be. 
    Their lives changed with the arrival of two visitors to Applekirk: Jankin the scholar and Hanethe, Ferrand’s great grandmother and the former lord of the manor, who has been living for many generations in the East, a place where the gods walk and yeya (magic) is so powerful that those who wield it are not quite human.

    Dwellers in Silence AKA The Long...

    After the Great War leaves Mars empty and Earth uncertain, Dr. Walter Hathaway survives alone on a wind-scoured planet, keeping despair at bay through routine, invention, and remembrance. In a stone hut near the ruins of a failed colony, he speaks of the past, tends a warm fire, and waits—year after year—for proof that humanity still exists beyond the stars. 
    When a rocket finally descends from the Martian sky, Hathaway’s patience appears rewarded. But as old worlds collide with new witnesses, the meaning of survival, companionship, and sacrifice grows far more complicated. Ray Bradbury weaves a deeply human meditation on isolation, love, and the extraordinary lengths one man will go to avoid being truly alone. 
    Ray Bradbury remains one of the most influential voices in twentieth-century science fiction, celebrated for blending speculative ideas with powerful emotional insight. His work consistently explores memory, mortality, and the quiet costs of progress. 
    Best known for classics such as Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, Bradbury’s stories often reveal that the greatest science fiction is not about machines or planets—but about the human heart.

    Elderly military veteran Volper had no idea what to expect when he entered the virtual world of Alpha Rome. But he now realizes that it’s not a game, after all. The number of times you can respawn by replicating in special capsules is limited and might one day run out. 
    Volper has also had to take on a group of teenagers and has managed to turn them into a lethal combat squad. However, their success has not gone unnoticed, and the team has caught the attention of some powerful corporations. 
    He might have successfully gained the Skurfaifer profession, but Volper is now the focus of a manhunt. Why were the Skurfaifers wiped out all those years ago? Who did they work for and what’s left of their mighty combat division? All of this is yet to be found out. 
    Volper also needs to clear his debt with the person who helped him get this unique profession. So, he and his team are heading down to level zero—a place filled with monsters and jeopardy—but the real aim of this raid remains a mystery. The only thing left to do is make his team stronger and try and get hold of as much information as possible. He mustn’t forget, however, that in this world even those who help you in your hour of need can’t be trusted. After all, despite all his achievements, Volper is still new to this virtual project and site of a battle between paramilitary clans which has been raging for centuries. 
    The author continues to surprise readers with unexpected plot twists and by skillfully combining elements of LitRPG and post-apocalyptic military science fiction.
