This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I read GW's new short story, "Shields of Mars" (in the
June 2002 MARS PROBES anthology from DAW) last night.
A straight Hard SF tale about engineers tending a
nuclear reactor on Mars, but with a wonderful
transformative twist at the end. Very shrewd stuff
(and the rest of the anthology, I should add, is
pretty good too--Aldiss, McAuley, O'Leary, Baxter,
Moorcock, McDonald...).

Best,
Nick.
