Our first story for July is titled The Visible Frontier and is by Grace Seibold.

Grace is an SF writer and poet who has spent most of her adult life in Montreal and Japan but now

makes her home in Kingston, Ontario where she works as a copy editor and bikes a lot.

In the event of a robot uprising, she intends to knit fuzzy hats for our titanium overlords.

Her fiction has been published in Chisine, A.E. Star Line, Machine of Death, and multiple times previously and beneath ceaseless

skies among other places. Grace can be found on Twitter at Grace S-E-Y-B-O-L-D. So my dear listeners I hope you can sit back relax and let me tell you a story That's in Fenwa, the captain said, pointing at a smear of light almost directly overhead.

In Lesh repeated the name dutifully to himself.

That's Antok.

A pentagon of bright light sparks halfway up the sky.

They've each got their own names, but you don't need that for now.

That's Hayaya.

A sullen orange glow in an otherwise unbroken patch of dark.

You can't see it at twilight or dawn, so don't rely on it for then, but it's about the only star that ever shows in that direction. So it's better than nothing.

And Lesh nodded.
