2018 Hugo Awards shortlist arrives.

The 2018 Hugo Awards finalist shortlist for best novel has arrived.

Here’s the candidates.

Ann Leckie’s ‘Provenance’ (Orbit).
John Scalzi’s ‘The Collapsing Empire’ (Tor).
Kim Stanley Robinson’s New York 2140 (Orbit).
Mur Lafferty’s ‘Six Wakes’ (Orbit).
N.K. Jemisin’s The Stone Sky (Orbit).
Yoon Ha Lee’s ‘Raven Stratagem’ (Solaris).

Much like The Highlander, there can be only one. Kim Stanley Robinson is our tip for the top. John Scalzi if you actually want something fun and readable rather than worthy.
