In other news
A German contract is pending for a German-language translation of Eifelheim. I can't wait to see how they translate "Eifelheim".....
A possible award or more for NEXUS? I wouldn't be surprised, as I stopped and immediately reread the first three and on-half pages, a gloriously marvelous introduction to this story of time travel, immortal life, and competing alien interests. Flynn's novella displays his talented imagination of characters, an unnerving ability to grow suspense, and occasional humorous editorial asides. No other story (near 20 in the current Analog SF& Fact) comes close to matching Flynn's writing skills in NEXUS. Oh, and the editor also must have agreed as NEXUS is the featured and first story in the 208-page March/April issue.

DeleteRegarding Eifelheim, someone shared this image with me and I thought of your novel. I do not know the source.
