Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Ancillary Justice is on a roll winning the Clarke and BSFA. Ann Leckie does it again

Location: Cheshire, England		Well done Ann. Though I do feel a little sorry for her - that second book has a lot to live up to.

Location: UK		I must admit, I thought it wouldn't take the Clarke. I enjoyed it, but "feels" like a Hugo book, to me. The Clarke is often a bit more literary. I'm pleased, though. I think it has a good shot at the Nebula this weekend too.

It's not on the Locus recommended list for best novel (although it is for First Novel). I don't know if that makes it ineligible for the Locus SF award.
