Yes, it is that time of the month again. Clarkesworld Magazine #41 is now online. For your reading pleasure we have a bunch of wondrous things. We also have the results of the 2009 Readers’ Poll, and I’m delighted with the winners. More about that later, but first, the contents.

• Fiction: “Torquing Vacuum” by the inimitable Jay Lake, also available as a podcast with Jay himself providing one of the voices.
• Fiction: “The Language of the Whirlwind” by the fabulous Lavie Tidhar
• Interview: World Fantasy Award winner, Jeff Ford, talks to Jason S. Ridler
• Non-Fiction: Russ Colson explains that “Earth Science Gets No Respect”
• Cover Art: “Transfiguration of Sergeant 05” by Bryan Sola
• And, of course, the Readers’ Poll Results

I particularly enjoyed working with Russ on his article as I have an earth science degree myself. Also the article ended up featuring an innovative type of renewable electricity generator, which is immediately relevant to my day job.

I’ll do a post about the Readers’ Poll later.
