Seiun Nominees
April 11th, 2009 by Editors
John Scalzi, whose Google-Fu is truly awesome, has found us the nominees for this year’s Seiun Award for Best Foreign Novel. They are as follows:
- Spin, Robert Charles Wilson
- The Ghost Brigades, John Scalzi
- Redemption Ark, Alastair Reynolds
- Light, M. John Harrison
- The Urth of the New Sun, Gene Wolfe
- Sun of Suns, Karl Schroeder
- Seeker, Jack McDevitt
The report comes from a Chinese-language web site, and the official Seiun web site doesn’t seem to have anything up since 2007. Confirmation, and details of the nominees in the other categories, would be appreciated.
