    FANTASTIC FUTURES
    Review of Future Orbits #4
    by Daniel E. Blackston

    When you download a Science Fiction pub from your email, there's an anticipation almost as exciting as fishing a print-pub out of your mailbox. I say almost because of that nagging suspicion that reading fiction on a computer is somehow supposed to be uncomfortable or strenuous.

    Redsine, by Trent Jamieson and Garry Nurrish
    Year First Published: 2002
    Review By: Paul Kane
    Rating: (4/5)

    After a spell in cyberspace, Redsine returns to a print format with issue seven - although you may be forgiven for not recognising it at first.
