The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America have just released their Preliminary Nebula Award Ballot. Here’s the list in the Novel category (under the SFWA “rolling eligibility” rules, a number of these books are from two years ago):
- The Accidental Time Machine, by Joe Haldeman
- Blindsight, by Peter Watts
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling
- Mainspring, by Jay Lake
- The New Moon’s Arms, by Nalo Hopkinson
- Odyssey, by Jack McDevitt
- The Outback Stars, by Sandra McDonald
- Ragamuffin, by Tobias Buckell
- Rollback, by Robert J. Sawyer
- Species Imperative #3: Regeneration, by Julie E. Czerneda
- Strange Robby, by Selina Rosen
- Vellum: The Book of All Hours, by Hal Duncan
- The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, by Michael Chabon
It must be something in the water up here, ’cause I note that four of the 13 novels are by Canadians (Czerneda, Hopkinson, Sawyer, and Watts — sounds like a law firm!).
SFWA members will now vote on this preliminary ballot, and the top five, plus optionally a sixth work not listed here that may be added by a jury, will constitute the final Nebula Award ballot.
