Philip K Dick Award Shortlisting for Gradisil

Posted By Adam Roberts On 9th January 2008 @ 12:30 In Book News | 6 Comments

I'm pleased as Punch (ahh, if only I were as good looking as Punch ...) that Gradisil has made the shortlist for the [1] 2008 Philip K. Dick Award. Here's the list:

  • Grey, Jon Armstrong (Night Shade)
  • Undertow, Elizabeth Bear (Bantam Spectra)
  • From the Notebooks of Dr. Brain, Minister Faust (Del Rey)
  • Nova Swing, M. John Harrison (Bantam Spectra)
  • Gradisil, Adam Roberts (Pyr)
  • Ally, Karen Traviss (Eos)
  • Saturn Returns, Sean Williams (Ace)

Impressive, what? It's interesting, I'd say, that when arranged alphabetically by author like that, the list of novel titles acrostically spells out GUF 'N' GAS. Not that this is in any way a commentary upon the excellence of the novels shortlisted this year.
