And so we come to the end of another year, and the traditional “here’s what I published this year and is eligible for SFF awards” post. This year I published just one short story, “Rust,” in the September/October Analog. Here’s what A.C. Wise at Locus had to say about it:
“Rust” by David D. Levine is narrated by a genetically enhanced chimp named Alpha, who is trapped with a group of other chimps in an abandoned, underwater research facility, where they were the subjects of secret, illegal study. After stumbling upon the group, a human salvager named Mercy works with the chimps to try to cover up the existence of the station, while also trying to cover up the accidental death of her partner. Despite the grim subject matter, the story is ultimately sweet, and has a strong voice.
If you’d like to read it and are not an Analog subscriber, I’d be happy to send you a PDF. Just email me and request a copy.
