Nebula Finalists 2002

2002: People across the interweb tubes embraced blogging, WorldCom's
earning report was inexplicably snubbed by the World Fantasy Award,
and the SARS pandemic taught the world a valuable lesson about disease
control it would surely never forget.

Which 2002 Nebula Finalist Novels Have You Read?

The Quantum Rose by Catherine Asaro
A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin
Eternity's End by Jeffrey A. Carver
Mars Crossing by Geoffrey A. Landis
Passage by Connie Willis
The Collapsium by Wil McCarthy
The Tower at Stony Wood by Patricia A. McKillip

I have a decent hit rate for this category: the Asaro, the Landis,
the Willis, and the McCarthy. Avoided the Martin as the series was
not at that time finished, I've never been able to finish a Carver
(no idea why) and I will probably track down the McKillip. I might
own it.

My hit rate plummets after novels.
