Fanning the Flames of the Future
Privateer Captain Catherine Blackwood knows that when a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. So when a mysterious client approaches her with the promise of an unusually large payday, she thinks twice before accepting. But the job sounds easy enough—transport some cargo and one person to New Peking—and she’s ready to move on from her current assignment in the Folsom 4101-B Star System. What could go wrong? A prequel story to Her Brother’s Keeper, by the co-author of Dead Six, Mike Kupari. Read “Ember of the Past” here. |
Solutions for a New Millennium In the year 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute published a list of seven “Millennium Problems,” math problems they considered to be the most difficult and important problems of the new millennium.

In this month’s nonfiction essay, Dr. Robert Dawson walks us through some of these problems to show us why they’re so hard to solve, why they’re so important—and how their solutions could change the way all of us live. Read “Tomorrow's Math” here. |
