New this month: near-future dystopic SF from Paolo Bacigalupi, about immortality and the repurcussions it’ll have on society; the tale of an unusual man and an unusual cross-country race from Robert Reed; a second tale from Reed, this one completely different–a creepy SF tale about two female roommates and a young man who comes to visit…; an avian fantasy from Gene Wolfe; a new noosphere/Guth Bandar tale from Matthew Hughes; the story of a very selective princess by John Morressy; and a very short trip back to the days of the Cold War courtesy of Bruce McAllister.
