Previously nominated books are on this bookshelf. More qualifying authors & books can be found here.

Tell us why you chose the book that you're nominating. Remember that books require seconding now. We'll close this nomination thread on the 15th of January in order to have plenty of time for poll(s) and then for acquisitions of the winner(s).

How about
Hull Zero Three by Greg Bear 2010 I think.

Updated to include my reason for nomination - I love Generation Ship stories.

I nominate Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway.

I'll second Hull Zero Three, space horror? I'm in.

I nominate The Clockwork Rocket by Greg Egan. It was a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Choice Award Nominee for 2011. It's hard Sci-Fi (or so say the reviews).

Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey, 2015. I still need to read his famous Silo trilogy. But this is a stand alone, about a lonely guard and his thoughts at a space lighthouse.

I'll second this. Reviews look good and I haven't read much hard Sci-fi recently.

It looks like only 2 books have been seconded. Last day for nominations & seconds.

I'll nominate All Systems Red by Martha Wells. This is the first of the Murderbot series. It's short & interesting, told from the point of view of a cyborg. Quirky & interesting.

I'll second "Beacon 23"
