Finalists for the Philip K. Dick Award

Thanks to SFSignal for making me aware of the Philip K. Dick Award Nominees. The original announcement was from Locus apparently.

Nominees for this year’s Philip K. Dick Award include:

* Air by Geoff Ryman

* Apocalypse Array by Lyda Morehouse

* Banner of Souls by Liz Williams

* City of Pearl by Karen Traviss

* The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad by Minister Faust

* Life by Gwyneth Jones

* Stable Strategies and Others by Eileen Gunn

The Philip K. Dick Award is sponsored by the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society, and the award ceremony is sponsored by the NorthWest Science Fiction Society.

I think I’ve mentioned before that I follow award nominations more than actual award winners as it gives me suggestions on some good authors to read whether that particular author wins or not.

Eoghann Irving is amongst other things the creator and Editor of Solar Flare. He has a life long interest in all forms of science fiction and fantasy and a pressing need to share this interest with anyone who will listen. Find out more at his personal website eoghann.com..

  1. I’m with you. The nominees list offers a bigger selection of authors - more choices for the sf fan. Also, I’ve had limited luck with enjoying the winners.
