ksmithBecause I've seen it crop up on other lists, it's time to post here.
...there is a requirement that books nominated for the PKD see their North American release in the year of the award. For this year's award--the 2008 award--that means that the books need to have come out in 2008.
ENDGAME came out in November 2007.
I don't know how the judges wound up getting the book, but once I realized what had happened, I let someone know, and they let someone know.
I am disappointed because I like this book a lot, and because it was the last book in a middlin' series that came out about three years late...well, I was glad to see it get some attention. And I was very happy that fellow pros thought it worthy of nomination. But rules is rules.
And so it goes.
