The debut issue features four all-new, never-before-published stories. Newcomer Vylar Kaftan presents an interstellar love story exploring the perils of communication and time-dilation. Veteran, award-winning author Jack McDevitt offers a tale centered on Earth’s moon and the mysteries it might still hold. David Barr Kirtley delivers an adventure about a young catman confronting the last of the dogmen—and something else entirely unexpected. Bestselling author Carrie Vaughn contributes a cautionary tale of the near future, highlighting the extremes society may face without immediate action toward sustainability.
