The
list of nominees for the 2011 Nebula Awards have been released. I'm always interested in who is up for Best Novel.
- The Native Star, M.K. Hobson (Spectra)
- The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, N.K. Jemisin (Orbit UK; Orbit US)
- Shades of Milk and Honey, Mary Robinette Kowal (Tor)
- Echo, Jack McDevitt (Ace)
- Who Fears Death, Nnedi Okorafor (DAW)
- Blackout/All Clear, Connie Willis (Spectra)
I have read
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, but was not impressed.
Connie Willis wrote one of my favorite books of all-time,
Doomsday Book, which won both the Hugo
and Nebula Awards.
Blackout/All Clear is something of a sequel to that book, and I have just begun
Blackout.
Hey Prof, Actually BLACKOUT/ALL CLEAR is the 2nd (and 3rd) sequel to DOOMSDAY BOOK. The first "sequel" (or book set in the same, future universe) was TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG (which was more comedic than "Doomsday").
