Issue 35 reviewed at SFCrowsnest

I think it's safe to say Rod enjoyed this issue. A lot.

Thanks again to all the authors (and Rosie our proof reader), great stories make a great review.
You can read it all here: http://sfcrowsnest.com/articles/books/2012/Jupiter--35-XXXV-Orthosie-16680.php

"Well, the editor Ian Redman has outdone himself in producing a good magazine packed with outstanding fiction. Seriously, the stories in this issue have a high standard. There's nothing much more you can say about them than that."

SFcrowsnest review Euporie (issue 34)

You can read the full review here:http://www.sfcrowsnest.com/articles/books/2011/Jupiter-34-XXXIV-Euporie-16438.php

Rod says "we've got a really good selection of stories to read. This magazine keeps producing the goods and you're never disappointed with the selection of fiction on offer. This time there are five short stories, a variety of subjects explored with each one being well written. Satisfyingly good, I would say."

Another good review!

SFrevu reviews Euporie

A good positive review from Sam at SFrevu this time out. Over all it's "more good stuff".
Pilot by Jack Davidson was described as being "a clever idea, well executed."
Lee Russell's In The Web as "an effective story about a bleak future that ended on a positive note and a very good read."
Frank by Martin Ott "had a nice slow buildup and had a good payoff."
The Bitter End by Simon Kewin & Dominic de Mattos was told "in a very exciting way"
Dark Age by Alastair Miles was "a story that's more than a little depressing." I think that's a good review, to be depressing it had to have an emotional impact on Sam, which is a good thing, right?

Review of Jupier 24: Iocaste

Thanks for Gareth Jones for first spotting this one...
The SFSite have released their review of issue 24.

"Jupiter as with many semipro magazines doesn't really have access to the very best new stories. But it has established a consistent personality, and a distinct devotion to mostly fairly straightforward SF, and the magazine generally manages to featuring enjoyable work."
Read the full review here.

Second review of issue 24

SFcrowsnest have published their review of Iocaste. They were particulary impresed with Black Water "'Black Water' by David Conyers is an absolutely cracking story. It's one of the best I've read for some time... Even within the limitations of a short story, a believable world has been created with two strong characters, Joseph and an Australian woman called Donna, both trying to make their way as best they can. I particularly liked the use of archaic technology, even in the slums of Dar es Salaam. Well, if this is our future, we had better do something about it soon!" The whole review can be read here.
