I haven’t read the whole issue yet, but “The Art of Alchemy” is one of my favorite stories so far this year. I also liked “Litany” a great deal, but it was rushed toward the end. I felt like there was so much more incident and story wanting to happen, with more opportunity for character development and revelation about Rafael.

I’m still looking for Return to the Future by Florakis, Diamamdis (mentioned by PdF in the Curiosities column) but no luck on the two used book websites you listed. If you come across another source for it, please let us know. I will do the same. Sounds like a fascinating read. Thanks for the tip.
