The Devil's Final Curtain
The aforementioned Pyr year end round-up and contest over on Symphony for a Devil is now over. Both of the winners chose works by Justina Robson as their books of choice. And Yours Truly didn't do too badly in the round-up of vote requests either, though as my anthology contains several Pyr authors within, I had an unfair advantage!
Calico Reaction reports:
"There was a total of 31 entries, which isn't bad at all (but what do I know, it's my first contest!). 16 of those entries were from women, and 15 of those entries were from men. Which I find very cool, even if it bores the rest of you."
Update: Street Teamer Paul Abbamondi weighs in on Wistful Writings with his own Top Ten Books of 2007, and I'm happy to see Adam Roberts' Gradisilon the list (with Justina Robson's Selling Outgetting an honorable mention). Paul ranks the book at number five and says it is "...an excellent piece of hard science fiction, and making me even more impressed because I absolutely cannot stand hard science fiction."

Thanks so much for helping out with the contest. :) It was fun to do, and I felt bad only being able to choose two!
I think the thanks are all your way!
