2002 Clarke Award Nominees

Location: United Kingdom.

Comments: Gwyneth Jones shares a common characteristic with Stephen Baxter: They have both been nominated for the Clarke Award seven times. Jones has one accomplishment that Baxter does not have; She has won a Clarke Award. Baxter has a distinction that Jones does not; I have read two of Baxter's books, and none of Jones'. I don't know why I haven't read any of Gwyneth Jones' books, but this is clearly an oversight that I need to rectify as soon as practicable.

Winner
Bold as Love by Gwyneth Jones

Shortlist
Fallen Dragon by Peter F. Hamilton
Mappa Mundi by Justina Robson
Pashazade: The First Arabesk by Jon Courtenay Grimwood
Passage by Connie Willis
