SFSite has posted their “Best SF and Fantasy Books of 2007: Readers’ Choice” and I’m delighted to see Joe Abercrombie’s Before They Are Hangedat number five (here for the UK edition, as our edition was just released this month and hasn’t found its way into all venues yet), as well as, not surprisingly, Ian McDonald’s Brasylat number three.
Of the latter, they say, “McDonald masterfully explores some key sfnal concepts and pivotal alternative science. Wrap your head around this book if you want to see what truly ingenious science fiction can look like.”
