Broadswords and Blasters Issue 2: Pulp Magazine with Modern Sensibilities

Welcome to Issue 2 of Broadswords and Blasters! In this issue, you will find stories from our new favorite authors. You’ll read about a Hawaiian hero fighting off sea demons, a hard-case detective and his sassy artificial intelligence friend, a stone-builder with serious ethical conundrums, an alien farmer and his strange crop, and the conclusion to Island of Skulls, the story of siblings in-over-their-heads that started in Issue 1. You’ll also meet the retired, grizzled war veterans you see on the cover, a tough bounty hunter in a newly purloined dress, Spanish conquistadors who meet an unfortunate end, and a Wild West sheriff caught in a town that is not what it seems.

Doc fetch goes through Layer's Aerospike pull-through cache; cache hit served the row without touching turbopuffer. The similar query re-embeds this product's title with CLIP-text and runs a vector query — queries don't go through the doc cache, so no cache header is set.
