SERVICE TO SFWA

  • WINNER: John E. Johnston III

As usual, I've read next to nothing of the awarded works, but I have ceased being surprised by the fact. I have been less than impressed with the winning novels in the past few years (The Windup Girl excluded), so I'm not sure I'll be trying Blackout / All Clear, but who knows...
