Mark Watson reviews my story “Memory Dust” in Interzone 220 at Best SF:
“The third story from Powell in the ‘new’ Interzone, which puts him up for being a ‘regular’. The two previous stories were well-received, with ‘Ack-Ack Macaque’ topping the last reader’s poll, and ‘The Last Reef’ having many plaudits, none of course to match the signal honour of being the first ever story to be featured in Best SF Presents. A touch of Golden Age SF, as the protagonist liberates from a research lab an alien creature he brought back from his last jaunt through hyperspace. He returns to the planet on which he found it dying, and in doing so once against comes up against the dust of which the title refers. Should he embrace, as has his partner, the opportunity to become one with the dust, to be preserved for the future?”
