After reading the entire first issue, my mind is reopened to the possibilities of writing. Each story is a journey into free creativity balanced with the known, unknown, history real and history imagined. To pick a favorite would be limiting my appreciation for the deep range of talent and writing styles this issue contains. That said, "Njabo," "Sugar Pines" and "American Indians at the Final Frontiers of Imperial Sf" spoke to me the most.

I love this sentence from "Fall of Snow"
Even high in the mountains, the air recoiled squirming from the blazing rocks.


Now that's hot!
