Analog Science Fiction and Fact, December 2011 Issue

Science Fiction

The December issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact is out and it contains several very good stories.  As I have said before I purchase an issue when one of my favorite authors has a story.

Kristine Kathryn Rusch is one of my favorites and she has a story in the December issue.  The Impossibles is set in the Disappeared Universe.  Kerrie is an attorney working off her student loans on Luna in the InterSpecies Court where you never win a case.  She is over worked and living for the day when her two-year stint is over.  Then her boss asks her to take a case that has a promise of a win.  Of course there is more to it than meets the eye.

There is a new novel in the Disappeared series coming out soon.  I wonder if Kerrie is a character in that new story.   It may be that The Impossibles is a side story explaining Kerrie’s background.

There are other good stories in the December issue.   It is available as an eBook at Fictionwise or you can buy a paper copy.

Analog Science Fiction and Fact published The Impossibles by Kristine Kathryn Rusch in 2011.

Analog Science Fiction and Fact and Asimov’s Science Fiction

Science Fiction Magazines

I have several favorite authors and I hate the long wait between books.  Analog Science Fiction and Fact and Asimov’s Science Fiction magazines help break that wait up.  Some of my favorite Science Fiction authors often have short stories or novella in both magazines.  John Hemry who writes the Lost Fleet series as Jack Campbell has several alternate history novellas in Analog.  My favorite is Swords and Saddles in the April 2010 issue.  Kristine Katherine Rusch has several novellas set in the Diving in the Wreck and The Retrieval Artist Universe published in Asimov’s.  She also has stories set in other places in both publications.  I have another post today about Killer Advice, one of those novellas.  

Both Analog and Asimov’s are available on Fictionwise either as individual issues or as subscriptions.
