Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine Issue 58

4.2/5 ( ratings)

ASIM 58 has been lovingly edited by founding ASIM member Edwina Harvey, and it’s crammed full of tentacular goodness . Thrill to the gorgous cover art of Alan Englert, and marvel at the wonderful internal illustrations of Lewis Morley, the poetry of Leslie J Anderson, Brit Mandelo, and Alexandra Seidel and the customary book reviews. Plus, of course, the fiction: Annabel Acton, Marie Alafaci, Nigel Brown, Renee Carter Hall, Liz Colter, T L Fordwalker, Jennifer Lott, Pete Mawhinney, Robert J McCarter, Ian McHugh, Simon Petrie, Steven Pirie, Robert Porteous and Felicity Pulman.

As per usual, there’s a nutritious dead-tree edition and a choice of environmentally friendly, electron-bothering electronic editions to tickle your fancy and maximise your reading enjoyment.
