The October 2010 issue of Analog
According to Analog Science Fiction & Fact’s website, the magazine’s October 2010 issue contains a short story by Arlan Andrews called “The Alien at the Alamo.” Unfortunately, the story isn’t available online, and at press time we were unable to locate a paper copy.
That means we don’t yet know how the story’s title alien made it to the Alamo, whether the alien fought alongside the Texians, or whether — like Pee Wee Herman — he/she/it made the embarrassing mistake of looking for the basement. And, frankly, the suspense is killing us.
Andrews appears to have an intriguing background and Lone Star credentials to boot. He’s founder of SIGMA, a group of science fiction writers that offers futurism consulting to the U.S. government. According to SIGMA’s website, he previously held positions at AT&T Bell Labs and White Sands Missile Range, NM, before taking his current position as Environmental Program Manager for the U.S. Navy in Corpus Christi.
