Galaxy's Edge

The May issue of Galaxy's Edge is now available for free online reading!

This month's contents include both new and reprint stories, by Ken Liu, Robert Silverberg, Tina Gower (recent winner of the Writers of the Future contest Golden Pen Award), Gio Clairval, and Charles Sheffield. Gregory Benford is the magazine's science columnist. And editor Mike Resnick presents another intriguing editorial.

For a full listing of the 12 stories, novel excerpt, serialization, and columns, go to the Galaxy's Edge home page. You'll be able to read Issue 2 free online until Issue 3 debuts on July 1.

If you'd rather not read online, the magazine can be purchased for reading as a MOBI or epub file, or as a PDF. A print version is also available, and you can get an annual subscription via Weightless Books. (Links are on the home page.)

We hope you enjoy what each issue of Galaxy's Edge has to offer!

And a couple of mentions of said state:

"Dixie Mae had grown up in Southern California, but she’d been born in Georgia–and she was proud of her roots."

“This is a new artifact designed and executed by five previously out-of-work engineers in Athens, Georgia. They’ve mated a tiny Linux box with some speaker-independent continuous speech recognition software, a free software translation engine that can translate between any of twelve languages, and an extremely high-resolution LCD that blocks out words in the path of the laser-pointer.
“Turn this on, point it at a wall, and start talking. Everything said shows up on the wall, in the language of your choosing, regardless of what language the speaker was speaking.”
