Prometheus finalist - Ken Valentine - 03-25-2007

I wonder what the record is?
Depends on how you look at it. There are two catagories; Best Novel Award, and Hall of Fame Award.
FPW won the very first Best Novel Award in 1979 for Wheels Within Wheels, he won again in 2004 for Sims.
A number of authors have won this award twice, but so far, no one has won it three times.
In the Hall of Fame Award catagory; in 1990 he won for Healer, and in 1991 he won for An Enemy Of The State.
In this catagory, Robert Heinlein has won six times; The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1983), Stranger in a Strange Land (1987), Red Planet (1996), Methuselah's Children (1997), Time Enough for Love (1998), and Requiem (2003).
No one else has won this award more than once.
As an aside, in 2005, the winner in this catagory was A.E. van Vogt, for The Weapon Shops of Isher. (You get the connection I'm sure . . . Isher Sport Shop . . . Abe's sign; "The right to buy weapons is the right to be free."
Paul is right though, RJ is Libertarian, but the novel Harbingers isn't . . . particularly.
Still, I wish him (you) luck.

It's a crying shame that Enemy of the State didn't win in its year. What won instead?

Thank you, Enchanting Queen. I like to laugh, and I like to make my friends laugh too, when I can. It all comes from listening to BLONDE ON BLONDE 17 times in a row on acid. (Note to the Gang: please consult your physician or spiritual advisor before trying this experiment.)
