First for some actual real news as opposed to the bloviating I think I can safely promise you will come to expect from me. . .
I spent a good part of last year reading new paperback SF novels as one of the judges for the Philip K. Dick Award. This week we announced this year's finalists. They are:
Grey by Jon Armstrong
Undertow by Elizabeth Bear
From the Notebooks of Dr. Brain by Minister Faust
Nova Swing by M. John Harrison
Gradisil by Adam Roberts
Ally by Karen Traviss<
Saturn Returns by Sean Williams
We had a bumper crop in new SF this year, and all seven finalists earned their spots after fierce competition. It was a privilege and a pleasure to read these books. Add them to your To Read list. I promise you will not be disappointed.
