I know there are too many awards out there. This one is for the best Science Fiction novel with its first British publication in 2004. Winners will be announced May 11. I’ve only read two, Cloud Atlas and Iron Council, and I thought Cloud Atlas was the better book.

I’ve read Time Traveler’s Wife and liked that quite a bit.
You should start you own award!

I second the Lady C! And you know how I feel about Cloud Atlas.
