Disclaimer up front : I have have three novel serialize in analog -lrb- nebula winner the terminal experiment ; Hugo and Nebula nominee starplex ; and the just-completed hominid -rrb- . but I be also a long-time reader of the magazine -lrb- 28 year now -rrb- , and I love it . the fiction be real sf -- story in which the science be accurate and the speculation credible . but I also love the editorial by Stanley Schmidt ; the `` alternate View '' column by Jeff Kooistra and John Cramer -lrb- some of the best science write available anywhere these day -rrb- , the spirited letters-to-the-editor section , and Tom Easton 's book review . this be the number-one bestselling science-fiction magazine in the world , and justly so .
