The Plurality of Worlds by Brian Stableford

Brian Stableford’s recent novels include The Wayward Muse (Black Coat Press) and Streaking (PS Publishing). Black Coat Press has also published his translation of Paul Féval’s Salem Street, one of the pioneering series of crime novels after which the press is named. His four hundred and sixty thousand-word reference book, Science Fact and Fiction: An Encyclopedia, will be out from Routledge in September. In his sumptuous cover story, he bids us bon voyage on our journey through the ether and into the age-old debate over . . .


The ethership stood on the launch platform at Greenwich, ready to blast off. The cabin set atop the massive rocket appeared tiny when viewed from the ground; the ladder by which the intrepid voyagers would reach it seemed exceedingly fragile.

Thomas Digges, the captain of the vessel’s five-man crew, stood on the street at the edge of the platform in company with its principal architect, John Dee, and the Archbishop of Canterbury, John Foxe. Thomas was not looking up but looking down at the cobblestones. They had been scoured and swept in the early hours; he had never seen a city thoroughfare less likely to offend his boots.

A Woman's Liberation

A Woman's Liberation
A Woman's Liberation is a powerful collection of stories by acclaimed best-selling female writers who have changed the nature of visionary fiction. Originally published in Asimov's and Analog magazines, these classic stories have garnered numerous literary awards and span every style and theme in speculative fiction. From centuries of repression to private moments of triumph, from a plague of silence to an era that curses menstruation, these stirring tales explore the complexities of imagination and the boundless scope of the human experience.
