I just love Allen Steele Coyote stories. There’s a new four-parter started in the Oct/Nov 2007 Asimov’s. I was actually thinking of not renewing my subscription (yes, I love the magazine, and I want to support it: no I don’t have time to read it regularly and it’s a tree-killer that I have been ignoring lately). But now I’ll have to renew. These are just great SF adventure stories with grand protagonists and real people, and I’m a sucker for good colony stories anyway.
Sigh.
