The two stories by Yefim Zozulya and Lavie Tidhar almost make the grade, and the Fong is okay (but probably in the wrong market). MacLeod, The Chronologist, and a good contest prize winner, The Last Truth by AnaMarie Curtis. Everything is connected by the Others, powerful alien entities who, through the Conversation - a shifting, flowing stream of consciousness - are just the beginning of irrevocable change.Īt Central Station, humans and machines continue to adapt, thrive… and even evolve.Ĭentral Station is due out in May 2016.Summary: This issue has one standout piece by Ian R. Rising above them is Central Station, the interplanetary hub between all things: the constantly shifting Tel Aviv a powerful virtual arena, and the space colonies where humanity has gone to escape the ravages of poverty and war. And a hunted data-vampire has followed Boris to where she is forbidden to return. His father is terminally-ill with a multigenerational mind-plague.

His cousin is infatuated with a robotnik - a damaged cyborg soldier who might as well be begging for parts. Boris’s ex-lover is raising a strangely familiar child who can tap into the datastream of a mind with the touch of a finger. When Boris Chong returns to Tel Aviv from Mars, much has changed. The city is literally a weed, its growth left unchecked. Cultures collide in real life and virtual reality. Here’s the synopsis:Ī worldwide diaspora has left a quarter of a million people at the foot of a space station. It sounds fantastic and, while the previous cover was also really nice, now it also looks magnificent. It’s comprised of a series of novellas/short stories, stitched together to create a larger story.

But, today Tachyon unveiled that superb new cover, above, for Lavie Tidhar’s highly-anticipated new book, Central Station. Ok, I already have this, and featured it in a Books Received post a couple months back.
