While we were still reeling from Worldcon San Jordison announced the long list for his Not the Booker award at The Guardian. 46 books are on the long list, are we have to vote to whittle them down to 6. We have one vote each. SpecFic books on the list include The City and the City (China Miéville), Spirit (Gwyneth Jones), The Quiet War (Paul McAuley) and Best Served Cold (Joe Abercrombie). I can also recommend John the Revelator (Peter Murphy).

On the basis of what has come in so far it looks like China will make the short list, but Gwyneth, Paul and Joe need your support. Go ye forth and vote.
