F&SF, March–April 2010[/URL] by Spilogate, Inc.
I wasn't too impressed by the Jan/Feb issue. I hope I like this one better, as I still have two years of subscription (12 issues) coming after this one!

The new double-issues (they had to go to 6 issues a year because of failling subscriptions and increasing postal costs) are very long! there were two or three stories in here I liked, but several more I found too dismal or 'literary'.
I want to like F&SF, but I'm not sure I'll renew again once my current sub runs out.
Now onto
Live Free or Die by John Ringo. This is set in something close to the first contact years of the
Schlock Mercenary universe.
A fun space opera. John doesn't kill off as much of humanity as in the Posleen universe.
This doesn't contain as much right-wing 'preaching' as, say, The Last Centurion. Given the
response to Polio vaccination in some countries, it sadly seems fairly accurate in its predictions of some people's response to certain events.
