Prometheus Award Reviews

The Prometheus Awards (no affiliation with this publication) are presented by the Libertarian Futurist Society to recognize quality works of libertarian science fiction.

There are three different Prometheus Awards:

• Best Libertarian Novel Award (complete list of nominees, finalists, and winners)
• Hall of Fame Award: honoring classic libertarian fiction (complete list)
• Special Award: occasionally given to recognize contributions in various media

We have the rather lofty goal of reviewing all of the winners, finalists, and nominees of these awards — in that order of priority.  We have some reviewed already, but there are many more to go.  Our regular contributors can’t accomplish this herculean task by ourselves, so we are keenly interested in submissions that review the works we haven’t already covered.

Here’s what we’ve reviewed so far; help us fill out these lists!
