https://youtu.be/tiysvCXILfw Another fast-paced novella courtesy of Alastair Reynolds, Slow Bullets makes for one of those reads you can't step away from.

I've been subscribed to the e-mag for exactly one year now, and it's been nothing short of a delight every issue I've read. I rarely read all of the magazine before the next one comes out, but I make... Continue Reading →
