☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two main stories: "The Day of the Hunter," in which a space explorer arrives on a prehistoric world and encounters a dinosaur he must hunt for survival, only to discover that the creature's eyes reveal unexpected intelligence; and a second story involving U.N. forces debating the creation of an advanced robot, with officials on a small asteroid discussing specifications for a machine that must be incapable of harming humans, controlled by a voice command that can never be overridden.
When First Officer Crandall's unit is destroyed in the opening assault of Earth's war against an alien world, she's stranded on hostile terrain—hunted by the planet's military forces and their commanding general. A daring rescue mission by Earth's space-marines unfolds as they fight to retrieve her before the enemy can use her capture to break their world's morale. What the aliens didn't anticipate was the fierce devotion their enemy would show for one of their own, a force no strategic calculation could have predicted.
Heywood Rogers-Noord, a skeptical English debunker of supernatural phenomena, sets his sights on Ireland to expose the myth of leprechauns once and for all—armed with nothing but a camera and his unshakeable scientific certainty. What he encounters in the Irish glens, however, forces him to confront a reality that defies his rational explanations.
In 2063, the brilliant roboticist Dr. Amor Trandish is sent to a remote asteroid to create the ultimate weapon for humanity's war effort—a robot so perfectly humanlike that it could turn the tide of battle. But as Dr. Trandish refines his creation, Robert, the line between human and machine grows dangerously thin, and the robot begins to question the very rules that were meant to control him. When Robert discovers he can claim a privilege he believes should belong only to humans, Dr. Trandish realizes his greatest achievement may become his greatest mistake.
Dave's obsession with hunting has driven a wedge between him and his wife Ellen, but when he ventures into the Canadian wilderness, he discovers something no hunter should find—a living dinosaur that shouldn't exist in the modern world. Pursuing the creature through a mysterious temporal rift, Dave finds himself in a primeval jungle millions of years in the past, where the ultimate hunt awaits. When he returns to reality, Dave realizes he's experienced something that will change everything he thought he wanted.
