| "Treats SF as a thinking person's literature, one that has the capability to explore theoretical ideas about culture, technology, and humanity in a
way that few other genres can match....The zine is thick, dense, and
handsomely designed, and it covers territory that few other zines cover: all of
this adds up to something remarkably close to perfection. Highly
recommended for both vets and the casually interested." |
This is a pretty impressive contents list for a critical magazine.
The production values might not be on a par with
Locus but, the excellent Gary Wolf apart, its content is clearly superior. It is an
excellent magazine, and one that anyone with a serious interest in SF&F
fiction should read. |
| "Excellent material [and] well-written reviews by various contributors.
It takes a high level of organization and talent to put together this kind of
a magazine and editor Lawrence Person should be commended for
his efforts. The magazine is attractive and thoughtful. I recommend it highly."
|
"A serious component of Nova
Express is the book reviews...The reviews are very well done, they analyze the meanings, cite the backgrounds, discuss the contexts, and generally serve to
communicate, inform and impress...Nova
Express is the reviewzine of its own context."
|
| "Enjoyably eclectic, interesting and intriguing, robust and gonzo,
Nova Express has published some worthwhile interviews,
opinionated reviews, and the only genuinely entertaining convention reports
I've seen in some while. So far there's been something in every issue
that made me laugh out loud, no mean recommendation."

"God bless these guys. They've kept us on their mailing list for a year. I
don't understand a word in this obscure Sci-Fi zine, but that's really nice of
them. If you are really, really into sci-fi, this is for you. If, like me, you like "Men
in Black," this is not for you. We're talking extreme, but not
Star Trek. More Isaac Asimov and science based.
With some fantasy. Now, can you take us off
your list so I can stop feeling stupid, please?"

o Yes! I want to read the best critical zine the genre has to offer! Here's my
o $15 o $20 o $30 for four issues, or
o $28 o $36 o $54 for eight!
o No! There hasn't been any good science fiction written since 1959! Go away!
