Welcome to Analog Science Fiction and Fact! Every issue features award-winning authors, compelling fiction stories, intriguing science fact articles, editorials, news, reviews… Travel to the edges of the universe!
A simple courier job turns out to be more than a crew of mercs had bargained for—literally, in “The User Manual” by Tony Ballantyne; a coming of age ceremony has more personal stakes than anyone realizes for one participant, in “Beggar’s Mounted” from Eric Del Carlo; an alien superstructure does its best to keep its secrets in “Septo’s Taj” from R.R. Corvi; a burglary leads a pair of Detective Inspectors to a much bigger and weirder crime in “The Light of Darian” by Sean McMullen; an automaton with larceny on its mind gets down to business in “Career Considerations for Starship Burglars” by Hans Enge Wenger; some harsh youths learn a harsh lesson in “Robo Bashers” from Harri Hemlock, plus the next installment in Kelly Lagor’s “Warm Pond” fact series, and much more, from Adam-Troy Castro, Jay Werkheiser, and others!
