SPSFC: Quarterfinalists

After much consternation, deliberation, and probably another unnamed “ation” or two, Team Space Lasagna is proud to announce the quarterfinalists for The SPSFC.

Each team member read at lest 10-20% of 31 books this fall. We chose the 10 best books to move on to the quarterfinals as follows (in no particular order):

A Star Named Vega	Ben Roberts
Constellation	Robert Scanlon
Blackcoats: Dead Man Walking	Michael Lachman
Eden M51	Glenn Paskoff
Between Mountain and Sea	Mary Lou Locke
Primordial Threat	Michael A. Rothman
The Elcy Protocol	Bave Grozdanov
The Dinosaur Four	Geoff Jones
Earthweeds	Rod Little
Ducket and Dyer: Dicks for Hire	Ganesh Nair

Over the next several weeks, we’ll be reading these books in their entirety and posting reviews. The contests requires us to publish reviews for our top three, but we’ll likely have something for all of these from at least some members of the team.

While congratulations are obviously in order for the Quarterfinalists, we would also like to thank the other twenty one authors on our list. The ever amazing Edpool managed to read all 31 entries in their entirety and has provided a thoughtful review for each. So, while we couldn’t pass everyone to the next round, we can link to reviews for those who did not move on.
