Die SFWA hat die Finalisten für den NEBULA-Award bekanntgegeben. Der Link führt zur SF-Signal-Seite mit der Meldung, weil die wiederum etliche Links hat zu einigen Online-Versionen der nominierten Storys. Lesevergnügen galore also. Unter den Nominierten - natürlich ;-) - Steven Moffats Dr.-Who-Folge der dritten Staffel "Blink". Aber auch sonst gibts interssante Finalisten. So Altmeister Joe Haldeman, Michael Chabon, Nancy Kress sowie nominiert "World Enough and Time", eine "Star-Trek"-Episode - wer jetzt verwundert schaut, das ist eine Episode aus der Fanserie "New Voyages". Ende April gibts dann die Gewinner. Meines Erachtens diesmal spannender als der Oscar...
