2009 Arthur C Clarke Award Shortlist

The judges have announced the 2009 Clarke Award shortlist.

The judges this year were Chris Hill, Ruth O’Reilly, Robert Hanks, Rhiannon Lassiter and Pauline Morgan. They have picked:

    
Song of Time Ian R. MacLeod
The Quiet War by Paul McAuley
House of Suns by Alastair Reynolds
Anathem by Neal Stephenson
The Margarets by Sheri S. Tepper
Martin Martin’s on the Other Side by Mark Wernham

    
BSC actually hosts an excerpt to the nominated work by MacLeod. We would like to congratulate the finalists and wish them all good luck!

I do wonder, was Harkaway not eligible?
