The Issue Now Departing from Platform 48
Black Static #48 is now off at the printers and will be mailing out to subscribers in a week or so. Andy will be along shortly to quote chapter and verse on the delights it contains, but in the meantime here I am to whet your appetite by revealing the full contents of the Case Notes book review section of this issue.
Here's what we've got for you:-
