1999: The Mars Polar Lander more than succeeds at landing on Mars,
Liberty Bell 7 is retrieved after a slight delay from the Atlantic,
and across the world programmers work hard to prevent a calamity,
efforts that will late prove politically inconvenient to acknowledge.

Forever Peace by Joe Haldeman
How Few Remain by Harry Turtledove
Moonfall by Jack McDevitt
The Death of the Necromancer by Martha Wells

Reading the Bones by Sheila Finch
Aurora in Four Voices by Catherine Asaro
Ecopoiesis by Geoffrey A. Landis
Izzy and the Father of Terror by Eliot Fintushel
Jumping Off the Planet by David Gerrold
The Boss in the Wall by Avram Davidson and Grania Davis

Only the Asaro and the Landis. Not a great year for me and short SFF.


Which 1999 Nebula Finalist Novelettes Have You Read?

Lost Girls by Jane Yolen
Echea by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Lethe by Walter Jon Williams
The Mercy Gate by Mark J. McGarry
The Truest Chill by Gregory Feeley

Thirteen Ways to Water by Bruce Holland Rogers
Fortune and Misfortune by Lisa Goldstein
Standing Room Only by Karen Joy Fowler
Tall One by K. D. Wentworth
When the Bow Breaks by Steven Brust

None what so ever. 2000 is likely to be as bad, then Andrew Wheeler
started force-feeding me fiction of all lengths.
