eBook Category: Science Fiction
eBook Description: Kristine Kathryn Rusch, one of this year's Readers' Award winners, returns with another big novella, this time set in a wholly new universe from her "Diving into the Wreck" series. In "Broken Windchimes," a talented human vocalist, culturally sequestered by his alien patrons, finds both hope and transcendence through the unknown pleasures of his own race's music. Lisa Goldstein, Nebula-nominee at time of writing, returns with a tale of a circus you can't quite run away to join in "Away from Here"; Benjamin Crowell is back again to tell the story of an intelligent house that just won't submit to getting "flipped" in "Tear-Down"; Steve Rasnic Tem contributes a complex tale of the difficulties in fixing the future through time travel in "The Day Before the Day Before"; fan favorite Mike Resnick and talented newcomer Lezli Robyn tell of a man and his robot who are clearly "Soulmates"; Ferrett Steinmetz makes his Asimov's debut with a funny story about the dangers of taking your 'net popularity too seriously in "Camera Obscured"; and stalwart Analog contributer Jerry Oltion recounts the tale of a man who, for once, was extremely careful about what he wished for, in "Her Heart's Desire."

Robert Silverberg, in Reflections, begins to share the thought processes behind the invention of his popular Majipoor series in "Building Worlds I"; Paul Di Filippo brings us "On Books"; plus an array of poetry you're sure to enjoy.
