This issue has good, brief essays on being the mother of a soldier and on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The news section is good this issue, as is the little story that reports a grieving father not ready to be comforted asking, “What would God know about losing a son?”

The Amber Spyglass
By Philip Pullman. Satisfying finish. Perhaps now I should read something that’s not part of a series?
The Golden Compass
By Philip Pullman. Rereading very good juvenile fiction.
The Naked God, Part 2: Faith
By Peter F. Hamilton. So what would we do if we had massive, direct evidence of the existence of the soul after death? A rousing finale to a great read.
The Naked God, Part 1: Flight
By Peter F. Hamilton. Well, well, well. Zooming right in towards what should be a blockbuster, wrap-up-all-the-loose-ends finale. Can’t wait!
The Neutronium Alchemist, Part 2: Conflict
By Peter F. Hamilton. Rolling right through them, and the bookstore I can get to doesn’t have the next installment!
