Shoreline of Infinity, Issue 5, Autumn 2016

As the leaves turn to brown or the blossom appears (Northern or Southern hemispheres) we have some great new stories, interview with Simon Mordem, a freshly minted column by Ruth EJ Booth, poetry from Andrew Blair and Ruth Aylett. We have a fine selection of book reviews, a new comic from Stuart Beel, and our journey through classic Scottish science fiction continues with George MacDonald. And not forgetting our regular brain bender, Parabolic Puzzles.And finally, we meet Sara Julia's friend, who has featured on the cover of Shoreline of Infinity Issues 2 - 5.StoriesThe Revolution Will Be Catered—Iain MaloneyNeme—Jack SchoutenPossible Side Effects—Adam ConnorsNothing to Fear—Nat NewmanPerennials—Daniel RosenIncoming—Thomas ClarkOverkill—Rob ButlerWhen There is no Sun—Craig ThomsonPhatastes (extract)— George MacDonaldSF Poetry by Andrew Blair and Ruth AylettSimon Morden interviewed by Gary DalkinNoise and Sparks, Ruth EJ BoothSF Caledonia by Monica Burns on George MacDonaldParabolic Puzzles by Paul Holmes.Book ReviewsThe 1000 Year Reich by Ian WatsonInvisible Collected Fiction by Hannu RajaniemiThe Transition by R J TomlinBehind The Throne by K.B.
