The Edge of Nowhere Part One

Here is Part One of a new (old) story, "The Edge of Nowhere" which was first published in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in June, 2005.   It was subsequently reprinted in the YEAR'S BEST SCIENCE FICTION #11, edited by David Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer from Harper/Eos and SCIENCE FICTION: THE BEST OF THE YEAR, edited by Rich Horton from Prime Books, so it must have had something going for it!   Time: 24:17.  File Size: 16.7mb
