Kim Stanley Robinsoninsisted thatAdam Roberts ‘ Yellow Blue Tibia should have won the honored Booker Prize , but now that damage has been somewhat right , as Roberts ’ Word of God is one of four finalist for the sound - novel British Science Fiction Awards .
Robertstells the Guardianhe ’s
“ really delighted to be shortlisted … The list of winners of the novel trophy , going back to John Brunner ’s tremendous Stand on Zanzibar in 1970 , does n’t contain a single second - charge per unit Koran – not one in all that time , ” say Roberts on learning of his shortlisting . He pronounced himself “ surprised ” to be among the finalist , “ provoked in part by the fact that I ’ve never been shortlist for this award before ” . “ That only make me more chuffed to be on the listing this year , of course , ” he say . “ It ’s peculiarly dainty to be in such over-the-top company : any of the other three could come through and deserve it . ”
The other finalists areChina Mieville‘s The City And The City , Ursula K. Le Guin‘s Lavinia andStephen Baxter‘s Ark.
