The awards will be presented on June 21 in Oakland, CA.
These are the finalists for the Science Fiction Novel award.
- The Man Who Saw Seconds, Alexander Boldizar (Clash)
- Rakesfall, Vajra Chandrasekera (Tordotcom)
- The Mercy of Gods, James S.A. Corey (Orbit US; Orbit UK)
- The Bezzle, Cory Doctorow (Tor; Ad Astra UK)
- The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles, Malka Older (Tordotcom)
- Kinning, Nisi Shawl (Tor)
- Alien Clay, Adrian Tchaikovsky (Tor UK; Orbit US)
- Service Model, Adrian Tchaikovsky (Tordotcom; Tor UK)
- Space Oddity, Catherynne M. Valente (Saga; Corsair UK)
- Absolution, Jeff VanderMeer (MCD; Fourth Estate UK)
It's an interesting list. Tor continues to dominate and the incredibly prolific Adrian Tchaikovsky has two nominations. I've only read one of the books, Corry Doctorow's The Bezzle, which technically isn't science fiction. I did buy Mercy of Gods on sale a while back and will get to it sometime this summer, probably.

I've not read any of these, though I am interestedin The Tapestry of Time.
