The Arthur C Clarke shortlist tend to bring some controversy and this year is no different.
The shortlist:
The Red Men
Matthew de Abaitua – Snow Books
The H-Bomb Girl
Stephen Baxter – Faber & Faber
The Carhullan Army
Sarah Hall – Faber & Faber
The Raw Shark Texts
Steven Hall – Canongate
The Execution Channel
Ken MacLeod – Orbit
Black Man
Richard Morgan – Gollancz
John Jarrold really isn’t happy and I am curious that Brasyl by Ian MacDonald isn’t on the list. Oh well.
