4.0

A strong issue of Aurealis. I particularly liked the disturbing social implications of the setting revealed in S G Larner's 'Searching for Cidalisa' and Annika Howells' 'Obsidian River' built up the creep factor nicely. The reviews were a pleasant surprise too - I think I'd like to read all the books covered this month.
