As usual we have a great mix of stories and poems, this time by writers from Scotland, England, Finland, Japan and USA. We have a piece on Space Opera by Samantha Dolan, moonlighting from her day job as Reviews Editor, and we feature Eric Brown in 'Back Story'. Eric talks about the inspiration for his new novella Ace Doubles, from which we extracted Chapter One for you here.
