John W. Campbell Nominees Announced by Chadwick Ginther - Thursday, May 31, 2007 at 7:28pm The finalists for the John W. Campbell Award for the best science fiction novel of 2006 have been announced. Unlike the other major science fiction awards the Hugo and the Nebula, the John W. Campbell is selected by a jury. Last year Canada's Robert J. Sawyer won the award for his novel Mindscan. The Nominees include:
Titan by Ben Bova (published by Tor)A Small and Remarkable Life by Nick DiChario (Robert J. Sawyer Books) Infoquake by David Louis Edelman (Pyr) Nova Swing by M. John Harrison (Gollancz) Odyssey by Jack McDevitt (Ace) The Last Witchfinder by James Morrow (William Morrow) Living Next Door to the God of Love by Justina Robson (Tor) Dry by Barbara Sapergia (Coteau Books) Sun of Suns by Karl Schroeder (Tor) Glasshouse by Charles Stross (Ace) Rainbow's End by Vernor Vinge (Tor) Farthing by Jo Walton (Tor) Blindsight by Peter Watts (Tor)

This looks like a great crop of nominees, including canadians Barbara Sapergia, Karl Schroeder and Peter Watts. As well as recent Nebula winner Jack McDevitt and Arthur C Clarke award winner M. John Harrison. Although having just finished A Small and Remarkable Life, I would love to see DiChario win.
