Compelling Science Fiction Issue 3

by Joe Stech (Editor), Karl El-Koura, Dominic Teague

Compelling Science Fiction is a magazine created by people who believe that science fiction is important. Science fiction expands the mind and drives progress through inspiration. Our goal is to find and deliver great science fiction stories that are entertaining, inspiring, and extremely well thought out. Our stories tend to lean toward what is referred to as 'hard' science fiction, in the sense that we prefer stories that are self-consistent, scientifically plausible, and technically detailed when necessary. This issue of Compelling Science Fiction contains four excellent stories:



1. "The Undertow Jackpot" by Karl El-Koura. You really don't want spoilers for this one, so I'll just say that it's a story about parenthood and human nature.

2. Rich Larson's "TrashureIsland." It's about a positive application of augmented reality.

3. "The Law of Diminishing Returns" by Dominic Teague. A great time travel story, full of dark humor and smart plot devices.

4. "Intent to Occupy" by Ronald D. Ferguson. "Intent to Occupy" has the feel of golden age science fiction, bringing a wonderful human element to the asteroid belt.
