This month we've got two Alan Dean Foster novels out, one a Pip and Flynx novel (Trouble Magnet: A Pip & Flinx Adventure) and the other a story about near future India, Sagramanda, a place in some ways more alien than the worlds he normally writes about. With a Nobel peace prize having just gone to an Indian economist and and essay about Indian SF (Indian SF: A Brief Introduction to Two Outstanding Authors by Amardeep Singh) in this issue as well, we wanted to know more about the story behind Sagramanda, and the author was happy to oblige us.
