From Locus Magazine's November issue
Echo is Jack McDevitt's fifth novel featuring antiquities dealer Alex Benedict and his starship-pilot/assistant/narrator Chase Kolpath. Perhaps the biggest surprise is how McDevitt manages to make the odd coupling of the cozy and the cosmic into effective and moving SF.

Spotlight on Daniel Dos Santos, ArtistSaturday 23 October 2010 | Magazine; Perspectives

Excerpts from Locus Magazine's October Issue discussion with Robert Silverberg, Richard A. Lupoff, and Frank M. Robinson.
The pulp concept is not just a format; it’s also a sensibility. It’s a way of telling stories in a simple, direct, fast-paced mode. Avatar, Star Trek, Star Wars: these are all pulp stories in a different medium. Lois Tilton reviews Short Fiction, mid-OctoberWednesday 20 October 2010 | Reviews
