The issue includes story and media reviews, plus the opening of “Lenny and the Travel Ninja” by Alasdair Stuart.","Hub  \nIssue 5 May 4th 2007  \nEditors:  \nLee Harris and Alasdair Stuart  \nPublished by The Right Hand Sponsored by Orbit  \nIssue 4 Contents  \nPage 2: Lenny and the Travel Ninja by Alasdair Stuart  \nPage 5: Book Reviews: “The Execution Channel”,“Dark Space”,  \nAudio Review: “Doctor Who: Exotron & Urban Myths”  \nLee’s Diary  \nI spent last Saturday (April 28th) in Derby, at the second alt.fiction. It’s a one-day genre event, covering all that is good and great in genre literature. The guest list was impressive, with the old stalwarts such as Harry Harrison rubbing shoulders with the young pretenders (Tony Ballantyne), while other giants (Ian M Banks, Mike Carey) offered words of wisdom to audiences hungry for advice. How to get a publisher, how to structure your writing day, how to make a career in comics. There were workshops (in one we learned that it is, indeed, possible to make cheese scary), panel events (publishers vs agents: bring it on!), and authors reading from their latest works.  \nOf the many things I learned at the event, three will stay with me:  \n1) Mike Carey is one of the nicest guys you could hope to meet  \n(and I’m not just saying that because he’s giving us an exclusive Felix Castor story later in the year) .  \n2) Tony Ballantyne has really dull dreams.  \n(In his most memorable dream he was standing in a supermarket, looking at fish fingers. One packet was priced at £1.75, the other at £1.85. He bought the £1.75 packet) .  \n3) People are starting to talk about Hub.  \n(One writer of renown had been advised by another of even greater renown to submit a story to Hub. It’s nice when writers say nice things about us. It makes us happy.)  \nalt.fiction 3 is a year away. Make sure you get there.  \nWhat if I don’t like reading while sat at my PC?  \nIf you have a PDA or other device capable of displaying eBooks, you will soon be able to download a special eBook version of this issue from our website. In future weeks we’ll also be experimenting with versions for iPod. Failing that, hit the PRINT button.  \nHow Frequent is Hub?  \nHub is published 52 times a year! No, that wasn’t a typo. Hub is also now free to read! (Neither was that) .  \nEvery week we will be publishing a piece of short fiction, along with at least one review (book, DVD, film, audio, or TV series) and we’ll also have the occasional feature, too. We can afford to do this largely due to the generosity of the people over at Orbit, who have sponsored this electronic version of the magazine, and partly by the generosity displayed by your good selves. If you like what you read here, please consider making a donation. Donations of all sizes are welcome. £1/$1/1Euro is good, more is (naturally) better. Orbit helps Hub survive, donations help us thrive. You can donate using the PayPal button on the front page of our website.  \nLenny and the Travel Ninja by Alasdair Stuart  \nLenny Satler had never been lucky, nor did he look it. However, even  \nby his own standards, he had never been quite as unlucky as this  \nbefore. He was standing in the departure lounge of Upward Station watching his holiday slowly boost away and head out to a safe distance. In this case, his holiday took the form of the space liner Hedonist, which was setting off for the outer worlds with one empty seat and almost all his luggage.  \nHe watched until it vanished then slowly turned and slumped against the window. All around him people were bustling to and fro, buying the utterly unnecessary socks, magazines and accoutrements that they needed to take on holiday with them. He closed his eyes and reviewed his to do list, knowing instinctively that there would be no shuttles home for hours, his credit cards were probably in his other bag and if he dared to buy a coffee, it would be the special, geo-thermally heated kind that burnt the roof of his mouth off. Sometimes, it was very difficult being Lenny Satler and this was one of those times.  \nThen he saw Ivy, sitting directly opposite him.
