2003 Clarke Award Nominees

Location: United Kingdom.

Comments: This is where I reveal what an inconsistent science fiction fan I am. I have not read any of the books that were nominated for the 2003 Clare Award. I am familiar with all of the authors, and have read books by most of them, in some cases a lot of books by them. But none of those books are the ones that were nominated for this year's edition of the Clarke Award. And this is what my long-term project to read all of the winners and nominees of the major genre fiction awards is about: Filling in these gaps and compiling a collection of reviews for this magnificent body of speculative literature.

Winner
The Separation by Christopher Priest

Shortlist
Kil'n People by David Brin
