Hard SF discussion

November’s poll is late ‘cause the man in charge is unaccountably late. But TomHl stepped up to the plate and pinch hit. So it’s time to vote! Probably not much time, so do it now.

The poll for the month of November 2011 is up for the HardSF BotM at Yahoo groups.

For your research, the books are:
① Foundation's Fear , by Gregory Benford
❷ Childhood's End , by Arthur C. Clarke
③ The Sands of Mars , by Arthur C. Clarke
❹ For the Win , by Cory Doctorow
⑤ Makers , by Cory Doctorow
❻ The New Space Opera 2 , by Gardner R. Dozois
⑦ The Listeners , by James Edwin Gunn
❽ Forever Free , by Joe Haldeman
⑨ The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress , by Robert A. Heinlein
❿ Mars Crossing , by Geoffrey A. Landis
⑪ Dark Light , by Ken MacLeod
⓬ Coyote , by Allen Steele
⑬ The Ophiuchi Hotline , by John Varley

«The poll closes tomorrow, November 4, and the voting currently stands a tie between Coyote and The Ophiuchi Hotline. For anyone who has not yet voted, I encourage you to cast the tie-breaker! It is also possible there will be some last-minute adjustments by people who have already cast their votes. I've previously read both, and would be happy with either as a winner.
