Geoffrey A. Landis: 1/17/97
Not one story, but actually a series of three short stories set in a common universe. Baxter shows an amazingly comprehensive grasp of 1990s space technology, although I'm puzzled as to how it is that whenever people in this future society need a spacecraft, it always seems to be a piece of old stuff from the 1990s that comes to hand. A minor error about the physics of gravitational lenses make hash out of the plot of one of the stories, but overall, this is real sense-of-wonder science-based SF using modern science.
Several further "Saddle Point Sequence" stories appear in later issues of SF Age.
