I liked it so much I nominated it for Best Novelette in the Hugos. Three of my other nominations in this category did get short-listed.<br /><br />I think it won an Asimov's Readers Choice.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645772819461388524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390876285955310032.post-40296049164391705142019-11-25T09:41:26.116-08:002019-11-25T09:41:26.116-08:00Have you read the other stories in the Diving Univ...Have you read the other stories in the Diving Universe?Greg Hullenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720604327299886491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390876285955310032.post-92103020811581871802019-11-25T02:07:06.795-08:002019-11-25T02:07:06.795-08:00I really liked how it started and just drew me in ...I really liked how it started and just drew me in as the story progressed. Reading it, I really started to feel for all the characters who are in the predicament - putting on a brave face knowing they will never get home. I did feel tension in the story.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645772819461388524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390876285955310032.post-24733005902658655502019-11-18T11:51:46.637-08:002019-11-18T11:51:46.637-08:00Can you articulate what you liked about it?
