Aurealis #87

Aurealis starts off the year in supernova mode and intends to ramp up. Aurealis #87, the first global issue, has even more science fiction and fantasy. Dirk Strasser points out the dangers of treating people like Orcs. Sean Monaghan opens with 'The Root Bridges of Haemae', a resonant off-world story featuring a truly alien culture. Just when you've recovered from the breakneck SF/fantasy/military fiction hybrid that is Ian Bell's 'Elven Blades', brace yourself for Deborah Sheldon's nail-biting ride through the white wastelands of Antarctica, 'Across the White Desert'.

We interview Trudi Canavan, whose career has sky-rocketed from Aurealis Art Director to best-selling fantasy author. Gillian Polack looks at Nevil Shute's science fiction novels. Michael Pryor uncovers the life of Clifford Menelaus, giving us another slice of Secret History of Australia. There are the usual reviews of the latest releases, and to top it all off Deanne Sheldon-Collins will have readers salivating as she looks at The Year Ahead in Australian Speculative Fiction.
