Arkfall by Carolyn Gilman (Nominee for Best Novella, 2009)
Humans live deep within an apparently lifeless planet covered by massive ice sheets. Having to survive in confined spaces has bred a unique culture where deference and non-confrontation make co-existence possible.

Osaji’s opportunities are limited by the need to care for her aging grandmother.  But all that is about  to change as circumstances push her toward a journey like no other.

A Starflight Reader Nominee for Best Book of the Year

“Beauty, pain, wit, and wisdom all suffuse this powerful novel, as it uses imagined futures to reveal our own world in starkest clarity...and yes, with a whisper of hope.” —Locus

“Halfway Human is a first novel that should help establish its author as a major new voice in science fiction.”—New York Review of Science Fiction

"Fascinating."Nicola Griffith

"The best science fiction novel I've read in a long time"St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 

Hugo Winner. Must have for the serious fan or student of SF

"The best, the best, history of science fiction I have ever read...an unbelievably wonderful book."—Isaac Asimov

"A wealth of fascinating detail."—The Washington Post

"The insights truly eye opening"—Ben Bova

"It is tempting at this point to say that the Panshins' book is 'the history of SF against which all other histories of the field will be compared.' I don't think that's accurate. It's more proper to say that this IS the history of SF."—Science Fiction Chronicle
