Bryan Smith has woven a tight and intricate tale of postwar peoples obsessed with finding an elusive, mythical master entity called "Kronos"--a hybrid of man and computer, which is perceived as the solution to life's problems. The suspense builds as ...

Our October issue again includes a variety of human-alien contact stories. John G.
