Via SFSignal, the final BSFA short list is out.
A pretty impressive novel list...
* Century Rain – Alastair Reynolds (Gollancz SF)
* Forty Signs of Rain – Kim Stanley Robinson (HarperCollins)
* Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell – Susanna Clarke (Bloomsbury)
* Newton's Wake – Ken MacLeod (Orbit)
* River of Gods – Ian McDonald (Simon and Schuster)
* Stamping Butterflies – Jon Courtenay Grimwood (Gollancz SF)
Very appealing. River of Gods is next up for me, then Jonathan Strange. After the reviews in this month's Interzone I think I'll get Century Rain and Stamping Butterflies too. In fact, perhaps I should try and read them all this year.
