This was a solid issue with a few stand out stories. Personal favorites included “ conventional Powers” because superheroes and cosplayers “ A square of flesh, a cube of steel” which moving the explored gender, sexual identity and family dynamics, “ Waters of a new world” which featured a group of women facing the possibility that they will fail to save humanity and “ molecular rage” who’s protagonist surprised me by how much he grew on me.

The story of how I came to be reading an issue of Analog goes back to an approaching tropical storm and my fears of how I would amuse myself if the power went out. Since most of my reading happens on my iPad, I didn't want to worry about having to ration my remaining battery, unsure when I would be able to plug it in again to recharge. In the end, the storm blew past and didn't cause much trouble at all: no power outages where we were.I enjoyed this. There were some fun stories and… the factual
A possible Hugo nominee for the short story " Molecular Rage" by Marie Bilodeau . Everything is stacked against Stan, including the ability to get to work.

8 • The Gorilla in a Tutu Principle or, Pecan Pie at Minnie and Earl's • 28 pages by Adam-Troy Castro VG/Good. While fixing a damaged camera Ben Turbin spots a fat man and skinny man carrying a big crate up a steep hill for no good reason. Of course there is no proof, but he knows what he saw.

Ben fina...
Most of the stories were very solid in this issue. I'm always happy to see Ed Lerner's and Adam Troy-Castro's stuff appear in Analog.
All around, an excellent issue. Hardly a bad story in it. Gotta admit, I was surprised to find a superhero story in an issue of "Analog" - "Conventional Powers" by Christopher L. Bennett. What surprised me even more is the realization that the story is apparently a commentary on the Sad Puppies/Rabid Puppies Hugo Awards controversy from 2013-2017.From Adam Troy-Castro's fantastic, whimsical "Pecan Pie at Minnie and Earl's" to Guy Stewart's "Road Veterinarian", this was easily one of the best iss...
