The Curse of 1913
by L. Neil Smith
The next time anyone offers you a ration of excrement because you appear
to believe in a conspiracy theory (despite the incontrovertible fact that these United States
of America were founded by a band of conspirators) be sure to bring up the name "Jekyll
Island". Jekyll Island lies off the coast of Georgia (the one in the American South, not in the
former Soviet Union), and at one time was the location of a grand luxury resort—the Jekyll
Island Club—whose membership was limited to the one hundred most wealthy and powerful men
in the country.

in office, regardless of their party and regardless of how noble their stated aims might be.

The Last Trumpet Project Review
by Jim Davidson
Kevin MacArdry has written an extraordinary novel. The Last Trumpet
Project begins with ordinary people working mischief in the ordinary world, not all that
different from the world of today. As the action develops, it moves into the cyberverse, a
concatenation of many virtual realities hosted on server systems all over the globe. We learn
that the fantasy role playing games of today are among the many ancestors of virtual realities
of the future, so there is a clear and comprehensible line of descent from the past into the future.
