L. Burrows’ “Wasted Talent” * The final hours of a centuries-long reality show in Earth’s orbit in Amy Walsh’s “The Great Selection” * A colony representative who must take unusual measures to get the attention of an uncaring bureaucracy in Elizabeth Staab Van Deusen’s “The Stars from Home” * And more!
