A very mixed bag...

David L. Clements - Catching rays

A research project based on the Moon finds something they did not expect....

Pat Cadigan -The big next

A mother and daughter realise they are different...

Adam Roberts - Baedecker's Fermi

A tour of Europe seems to be hijacked by images from early science fiction...

Paul Cornell- Zeta Reticuli

The first alien abduction, seen from the other side.

Tricia Sullivan - The ambulance chaser

An alien saves a human but gets stuck in the body it inhabits...

Adrian Tchaikovsky - Lost to their own devices

Very weak and cliched.

Gerry Webb - In the beginning

Cliched story which changes at the last minute to fit a theme collection

Paul de Felippo - The trail of the Creator, trail of Creation

Very funny tale about of the most evil beings alive wanting to find and kill the Creator...

Mike Resnick and Robert T. Jeschoenek - Stella by starlight

Rather corny tale about a misfit finding how special they are

George Zebrowski - Fermi's doubts

Runs through the issues in a dialogue and cops out at the end.

Stephanie Saulter - Audiovisionary

A boy in a mental home hears voices in his head - one doctor starts to take him seriously...

Robert Reed - Aether

Very neat, ironic tale about an astronomer searching for alien life and what he finds...

Keith Brooke and Eric Brown - The end of the world

Trite plot about saving the world after an alien invasion.

Rachel Armstrong - The Worldmaker

Wow, one of best short stories I have ever read, weird, romantic, and full of cutting edge science.

Mercurio D. Rivera - Atonement under the blue-white sun

Rather trite story of two bitter enemies, human and alien, re-united on an alien planet... ( )
