What’s in Issue 518

News	This is the last regular issue of the first quarter of 2013. Next week, beginning March 25th, we’ll bring you the First Quarterly Review, the Editors’ Choices from issues 508-518.
Novel	Dexter once wondered if Jane could cook. Apparently she can. Jane might say, “Oh, Dexter, I’ve prepared a picnic just for us two. It will be ravishing. In fact, tu n’en reviendras pas” (‘You'll be delighted’; literally: ‘You won’t come back from it’). She’s right on one count. Martin Kerharo, The Dohani War Chapter 13: Inversion, part 1; part 2
Short Stories	New contributor Edward Cress playfully parodies the format of a type of alternate history story in The Lifelong Friendship of Dr. Atwood and Jonas. New contributor Mark L. Glosser foresees a future history in which some things can go very wrong unless Detective Ari Rosen can forestall them. And he has long-standing reasons to do so: A Funeral in Jerusalem, part 1; conclusion. New contributor Romney S. Humphrey introduces Sammy Caspar to some visitors who threaten to upset the habits, customs and peaceful life of a small but tightly knit community by The Northwest Corner Pool, part 1; part 2; conclusion. New contributor Heidi Kraay shows that a superheroine’s fantastical powers may not be all they’re cracked up to be: Running From Magic.
