Issue 3

June 2019 issue of FUTURE SF, features eleven stories authors from five different countries totaling over 60,000 words of fiction. This issue celebrates the 50th anniversary of the moon landing with four moon-themed stories, then focuses on the theme of AI characters for much of the rest of the issue, with just a little time travel in the mix for flavor.

Foreword – Issue 3 Introduction | Read now

Alex Shvartsman

We start our third installment of the digest with a month-long celebration of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. I’ve selected four moon-related stories that are as different from each other in style, voice, and theme as can be. Of especial interest is Oleg Divov’s “Americans on the Moon,” not only because we don’t often get to experience the Russian perspective on the space race, but also because Divov writes the story from the point of view of an American military commander, and some familiar historical figures show up in this alternate version of the 1980s....

The fireplace stuck out from the lunar surface like a middle finger directed at my future. From a distance, it looked just like the fireplace at my house in Pasadena, all limestone and granite, sparkling in the sun. The stone was covered in black ash, as if it had burned, like things could burn here on the fucking Moon....

The employment of moon-based weapons systems against earth or space targets may prove to be feasible and desirable. Moon-based military power will be a strong deterrent to war because of the extreme difficulty, from the enemy point of view, of eliminating our ability to retaliate....

A delightful and engaging story and reading. This tale is fortunate to have an author who can spin a yarn and also has this amazing voice! Can a deep-baritone pull off a twelve year old girl telling her story first person? Okay, one spoiler. Yes, he certainly can. Join Trixie and her family who live on the moon in the not to distant future and learn how she and her rap-loving sidekick overcome a tough situation. One more spoiler. The whimsical title doesn't mean excessive silliness. It's a well-grounded story full of character and the author takes the trouble to get the science right (though that's not the main thing). Great job Wulf Moon. I'll look forward to reading more of your stuff.
