Guess where this comes from....

"I don’t have to mention that the SRA cruiser is now a cloud of debris vapor still traveling at one- quarter- g acceleration."

That would be from a novel nominated for Best Novel that I just read.

That was just before a scientist works out that kinetic energy weapons are all that they need to stop the aliens... Weirdly this is several years into the war and nobody thought of it.

Nothing, I got nothing. :(

Oh yuck.

Well, that's enough to confirm where this one goes in relation to NO AWARD. (i.e. nowhere -- it doesn't even rank below NA, as a lesser weevil.)

EXCEPT he's withdrawn from the ballot. Okay, that goes up in my estimation.

Well yes, he has. He still probably shouldn't have been there - at least not with this work. The probability I might give him another look have gone up, but he needs some friends with a MUCH better grasp of physics.
