Hard to believe that it's been nearly 20 years since A Fire Upon the Deep won the Hugo Award for best novel (1993, in a tie with Connie Willis's Doomsday Book). So much has happened since then. Shifting into the Slow Zone.... later....

I'd like a Vernor Vinge galley please.

The name Vernor always reminds me of a factory maintenance manager that I used to work with named Vernor. He's memorable because with his GA/SC accent he would say "right here" but it sounded like "rat cheer."

But, I digress. Just send me the book please.
Brad Wheeler
121. MJSS

In a better world, Vernor Vinge would have been as prolific as Stephen King, and Stephen King would have published the same number of works that Mr. Vinge has published in ours...

I am definetely in, and hoping that this is what constitutes an "entry".

I do not know if I may or may not find out whether I will have wanted to win this book -- whether or not I win, or course. I have plans to google the title Children of the Sky and find out what it's about. I may have a better sense of things after that point, assuming the aforementioned googling action occurs.
