Jane & I won the Prometheus Award for Alliance Rising

It’s a very nice award. It recognizes a book that promotes individual freedom or the right to ‘vote with one’s feet’ when it comes to choosing your allies and your government. Intelligence and foresight matter. Which is something AR is about.

    That’s great. I like it when awards go to my favorite authors.

    Very well deserved! You ladies rock. Please start thinking about a ShejiCon after vaccine is available next year or 2022.

      I blame this comment for my dream the other night. We were all outside at a big party having fun. (On dry land of course)

    Brava! both of you! In re: ShejiCon — what about a virtual one? How many people can you get together at one time on Zoom?

    A well deserved win. I really enjoyed the revisit to the Alliance Union universe. More please!

    I’m taken by the criterion of the prize. For Science Fiction, eh? That seems so apt for current events, at least what I imagine many people wish they COULD do. “Ripped From Today’s Headlines”, as they say in the movie arcades. Don’t suppose there’s a raging narcissist in the book?

    Congratulations!
    Nice to see you both get the recognition.

    Very nice but not unexpected – we expect and always get the best from Ms. Cherryh and Ms. Francher.

    I’ve still not had the opportunity to buy that book yet, but even late to the party, my congratulations too.

    Congratulations, it had my vote for best of the year. Always enjoy getting back to Alliance/Union space

    Yay! Hopefully this indicates there’s interest in more Alliance/Union in the future.

      That 2nd level pun went up like a lead balloon; not even a groan. Sorry…

      Not to worry. About half of what I think is funny, (for instance Prometheus=light bringer=Lucifer), nobody else does.
      I’m told that I speak excellent Obliquely…

        Sorta like delivering the punch-line, and expecting everybody to know the joke’s setup? I’ve been known to do that too.

        And what about the Antimeheus people – equal time even though the FCC no longer requires it. Maniacal laughter.
