Nebula finalists 2007

[Robert Woodward]

2007! Serbia, fresh from being found only negligent with respect
to genocide, wins Eurovision, the IPCC credits humans with a stalwart
effort to return Earth to the conditions of the PETM, and Canada proves
it is a world-class nation with its very first domestically-produced
F5 tornado.

In case people are wondering, according to Wikipedia seven nations have
experienced F5 tornados: United States(59), France(2), Germany(2),
Argentina(1), Australia(1), Canada(1), and Italy(1).

The McDevitt, Walton, and Kushner. No Favorites; I probably would rank
the Walton as the best by a little bit. I was quite disappointed in
the Kushner; her _Swordspoint_ is a Favorite.

Before this series of James', I never really thought of McDevitt as
writing in the style to get Nebula Award attention; I obviously was wrong.
Checking now, he was a Nebula Award Novel nominee in
1997,1998,2000,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2010,2011,2014
filling in some of those missing years as a shorter work Nebula nominee in
1983,1988,1996,1997,1999,2002
Clearly very wrong!
All those nominations, the only win was this thread's year for _Seeker_.

I read/saw none of the shorter works or films (well, read
_Howl's Moving Castle_ but that doesn't count here.)

Only "Seeker" for me.

I have been tempted to read "Farthing" since "Among Others" and "My Real
Children" are so excellent.
