For the second year running, I&#8217;ve purchased and read each of the nominated books. What follows are the brief reviews I posted to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/913738-michael-hanscom\" title=\"Goodreads: Michael Hanscom\">Goodreads<\/a> as I finished each book.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/13547328-helix-wars\" style=\"float: left; padding-right: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Helix Wars\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/d.gr-assets.com\/books\/1344397685m\/13547328.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/13547328-helix-wars\">Helix Wars<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/243.Eric_Brown\">Eric Brown<\/a><br \/>\nMy rating: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/503271722\">3 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n<p>First off, to borrow an old clich\u00e9, don&#8217;t judge this book by its cover. The cover, of a suited warrior firing a laser rifle against a backdrop of explosions, gives the impression that this is a military sci-fi novel (a genre which I&#8217;m not terribly interested in). Instead, this book, the second in a series, has much more in common with Larry Niven&#8217;s <em>Ringworld<\/em>, as it deals with the interplay between races on a giant helical constructed world, wrapped around a star like a slinky, with thousands of cylindrical worlds strung along like beads on a necklace.<\/p>\n<p>However much the construct may invite comparisons to Niven&#8217;s Ringworld, though, Brown&#8217;s worldbuilding isn&#8217;t quite so engrossing. The structure of the Helix allows for lots of variety in environments and races, but leaves a lot of the technical underpinnings (for instance, how do the individual worlds have gravity?) to be either entirely unexplained or brushed off as &#8220;technology so advanced we can&#8217;t understand it&#8221;. The concept sounds very hard-SF, but the execution leaves something to be desired.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the book isn&#8217;t at all bad, though it&#8217;s not likely to end up as my pick for this year&#8217;s P.K. Dick award (for which it is one of seven nominees). I just hoped for a little more Niven-like exploration of the hard-SF concept that instead acts as little more than an interesting background for the story itself.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/12814346-fountain-of-age\" style=\"float: left; padding-right: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Fountain of Age: Stories\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/d.gr-assets.com\/books\/1328586726m\/12814346.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/12814346-fountain-of-age\">Fountain of Age: Stories<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/21158.Nancy_Kress\">Nancy Kress<\/a><br \/>\nMy rating: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/507080633\">4 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Impressive selection of stories; unlike many anthologies (both single- and multi-author), not a single story I&#8217;d consider a dud. Many deal with the not-too-far-future complications of genetic modification, and the whole book has a somewhat melancholy, moody feel to it that I liked a lot.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/12139883-lost-everything\" style=\"float: left; padding-right: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lost Everything\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/d.gr-assets.com\/books\/1348974122m\/12139883.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/12139883-lost-everything\">Lost Everything<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/42411.Brian_Francis_Slattery\">Brian Francis Slattery<\/a><br \/>\nMy rating: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/507081841\">3 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I almost gave this one two stars, but that wouldn&#8217;t have been fair to the book. It&#8217;s good, well written, and the style is&#8230;well, I want to say pretty, but &#8220;evocative&#8221; is probably a better word. The book was just too sad, too much of a hard slog through a broken country with broken people. Though described as post-apocalyptic, that&#8217;s not quite right, as the apocalypse is still in progress during the events of the book. There are moments of hope, but they&#8217;re always overwhelmed by despair. I know it&#8217;s good&#8230;I just didn&#8217;t enjoy reading it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/13490083-the-not-yet\" style=\"float: left; padding-right: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Not Yet\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/d.gr-assets.com\/books\/1329560615m\/13490083.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/13490083-the-not-yet\">The Not Yet<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/564280.Moira_Crone\">Moira Crone<\/a><br \/>\nMy rating: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/507081414\">3 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I had trouble getting into this one &#8212; it was interesting, and has some interesting ideas on mortality and the effects of enhanced longevity, but for some reason, it didn&#8217;t really pull me in until the last chapter when everything wraps up.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/12987252-harmony\" style=\"float: left; padding-right: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Harmony\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/d.gr-assets.com\/books\/1335214480m\/12987252.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/12987252-harmony\">Harmony<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/162931.Keith_Brooke\">Keith Brooke<\/a><br \/>\nMy rating: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/503272602\">3 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Three and a half stars would be more accurate. There&#8217;s a lot of fascinating worldbuilding here, presented very much in the &#8220;sink or swim&#8221; style where you&#8217;re simply dropped into the world and must figure it out as you go. Neat stuff, but the pacing felt a little off&#8230;there&#8217;s a lot of time spent setting the board, only to have the endgame sprung upon you faster than you expect. I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;d have preferred less setup (at the possible expense of less comprehension of the world) or more climax\/denouement (which might remove some of the power of the &#8220;aha!&#8221; moment at the end), but it felt somewhat off-balance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/11714721-blueprints-of-the-afterlife\" style=\"float: left; padding-right: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Blueprints of the Afterlife\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/d.gr-assets.com\/books\/1324239080m\/11714721.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/11714721-blueprints-of-the-afterlife\">Blueprints of the Afterlife<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/36975.Ryan_Boudinot\">Ryan Boudinot<\/a><br \/>\nMy rating: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/503273051\">3 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At times both fascinating and frustrating. While there was a lot to like in this, taken as a whole, it just didn&#8217;t quite mesh. Neat and very believable ideas (like the Bionet) mixed with wild absurdism (the Malaspina glacier gone rogue) mixed with I&#8217;m not sure what (a Mario-Brothers-meets-zombies video game sequence that I&#8217;m still not sure how to interpret). Interesting and, on the while, enjoyable, but perhaps a bit too absurdist.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/13533771-lovestar\" style=\"float: left; padding-right: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LoveStar: A Novel\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/d.gr-assets.com\/books\/1350605677m\/13533771.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/13533771-lovestar\">LoveStar: A Novel<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/689347.Andri_Sn_r_Magnason\">Andri Sn\u00e6r Magnason<\/a><br \/>\nMy rating: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/503273334\">5 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This one, I really, really enjoyed. Frighteningly believable (if improbable) biotech-meets-marketing serves as a base for paired stories of lovers torn apart and a brilliant CEO on a reluctant quest for God. Frequently funny and sweet, this was easily my favorite of this year&#8217;s crop of Philip K.
