An above average issue, with good stories by T.R. Napper and Philip A. Suggars.- "The Water-Walls of Enceladus" by Mercurio D.

A couple of good stories and a few middling but overall a good read.
Six stories this issue, and not a bad read among them. Best story this issue is A Strange Loop by TR. Napper about a man who sells his memories.

There's also an illuminating interview with author Dave Hutchinson which prompts me to check out his Europe trilogy.
