This just in… 🙂
Literally, the graphic just popped up on the SPSFC site a few minutes ago. Hammer and Crucible is one of seven books out of the original 300 to make it through the finals of the contest.
The grand winner of the contest, one of the 7 finalists, will be announced on July 15th. And the winner gets the coolest trophy I’ve ever seen. It’s a model ray gun straight out of the pulp era of SF, with gorgeous detail.
This is last year’s version:
This year’s trophy has different details on the gun, but it’s the same general idea.
My congratulations goes to all the other six finalists.
You can find details about the contest here.
