Dammit!

I was hoping for The Red Men - purely for the drama, of course.

Yes, this is probably the least slapfightlicious choice.

I don't hate it, but when I gave it up before Easter so I could read some of The Red Men before Not the Clarkes, it was with a bit of relief. Though I have gone back to it since, and I'm not offended that it's won.

Probably but it's not going to upset people like "not proper sf"/"it's for kids!"/"zomg the ending the ending zomg zomg".

Given Richard is to be our guest at Swancon in Perth next year, I'm really ecstatic to hear this! Thanks for posting :)
