Here it is.

What evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows better than to consult Ansible:

Klaatu barada nikto! Meaning, as every old-time SF fan knows, “Take cover — it’s another issue of Ansible.”

Now with a sparkling new issue number guaranteed to be higher than ever before in this newsletter’s entire chequered history … it’s Ansible 358!

Just when you thought there was nothing to worry about until All Fools’ Day … here we go again.

To mark St David’s Day, some of the news in this issue comes from unofficial government leeks.

This month, it’s two Ansibles for the price of one: Ansible 355 with the usual stuff, plus Ansible 355½, a memorial bonus.

Happy Newish Year from Ansible.

Like a bowl of cold gruel or a miserable lump of coal in your Christmas stocking, the December Ansible marks the beginning of the official “Bah! Humbug!” season. Meanwhile Ansible Editions has launched the first ebook (expanded from the print editions) of Yvonne Rousseau’s The Murders at Hanging Rock.

As Oscar Wilde so memorably said, the only thing worse than being in Ansible is not being in Ansible. Especially the November 2016 issue.
