Future Science Fiction Digest Issue 7
Issue 7 features fiction from Canada, Pakistan, and Sweden. Michèle Laframboise's "Cousin Entropy" is a far-flung space opera reminiscent of Liu Cixin's books. "Sunstrewn" by Murtaza Mohsin is another interstellar adventure, but this one deals with the issues of colonization, and the much-closer-to-home conflict between India and Pakistan. Filip Wiltgren returns to the pages of Future SF with an epistolary story about love and physics, but mostly about love. He packs quite a punch into very few words.

A Graveyard in the Sky
A pirate corvette. A spaceship graveyard. And the Warded Gunslinger, out for blood! I put down the drill, running my fingertip over the ward engraved in the thick slab of spaceship armor plate, feeling for any uneven parts. I take my work seriously. It’s what keeps me alive. Jake – the Warded Gunslinger – has a broken ship, an extremely valuable pet void dragon hatchling sleeping in his cabin, and the hope of running away to live quietly with them both. But with an unidentified, heavily armed corvette on his trail, a new one heading to cut him off, and an engine that explodes mid-flight, it looks like “live quietly” means “go hide.” Problem is, there’s not much to hide behind...
A Duel Among Friends
The gunslinger on a mission of mercy. The friend willing to help him. And the noble who'd set them against each other. “No,” I told Riina. “Out of the question. I will absolutely not do it.” “You will,” she said, so softly that I had to lean in to hear. Nothing soft in her voice, though. It was like tungsten gravel laced with pure fluorine. “Not because I say so, not because you would do it anyhow if you just thought about it, but because if you don’t, everyone on board the Belithain will starve, and then they will freeze, and then they will suffocate. Think about that.” Jake – the Warded Gunslinger – doesn’t enjoy mingling with the rich kids. Not his style, not his b...
The Warded Gunslinger
A gunslinger on the run. A distant mining outpost. And the ruthless boss who rules it. I came into Jackson Depot on one engine, scraping the Bucket along the sand before managing to get her to stop. Not great, but not quite a crash. I chalked it up as a successful landing. Jake – The Warded Gunslinger – doesn’t want much in life. A place to hide, a good meal, and a quiet time with his pet void dragon hatchling. The small mining colony of Jackson Depot seems to promise just that. But when Jake’s short-lived peace is shattered by a gangster boss and his army, and the hatchling is stolen, it’s time for Jake to pick up his guns! The Warded Gunslinger is a short novel of guns and magic ...
Last Stand at Rimont
Sometimes, your safe haven turns into your worst nightmare... You can’t spend eternity among the stars. Sometimes, you need to dock to trade, refuel, refit. Sometimes, all you want is a bowl of good chili, a cold brew, and something to stare at except your ship’s steel bulkheads. Sometimes, that’s what you get. And sometimes, what you get is war. Jake – the Warded Gunslinger – needs a rest, and his ship needs repairs, discretely. What better place to head for than a trade hub where no one’s heard of him? But when the trade station erupts into civil war turning into genocide, the Warded Gunslinger can’t stand idly by... Last Stand at Rimont is a short novel of guns and magic in ...
Into the Wild
The tough private investigator. Her femme fatale client. And the monster out to get them. Nobody goes into the wild, the grey deadlands between the five worlds. But when a blonde with a bag full of gold and city's biggest crime lord on her heels comes to me for aid, I can't turn her down. Maybe I’m soft, or maybe I’m crazy, because when the bullets start flying and every gun in town is turned against us, the wild may be the safest place left. Of course, having my client turn out to be a gangland assassin on the run improves the odds a bit... Into the Wild is a noir 1920’s urban fantasy with snappy, quick-witted protagonists, multiple worlds, gangsters, monsters, guns and magic. If you like an equal dose of Glen Cook's Garret P.I. and Larry Correia's Grimnoir Chronicles, you'll love Into the Wild. Get it now.

It chronicles the game's history, explores tactics and variants and provides a complete standard for notating games. Also included are three annotated Jetan playthroughs and several practice exercises. Over 80 diagrams and photographs are used as illustrations, and an essay about Edgar Rice Burroughs' lifelong interest in sports and games further contextualizes the game.
