Good for him!
This makes me especially proud that he is our Guest of Honour at Con-Version 23 this August 17-19.

This is great recognition--SEEKER was one of my favorite novels last year.
It even inspired me to write Mr. McDevitt a geeky fan email saying how much it rocked. ;-)

I'm still jumping up and down with joy over this. I was thrilled when Robert Charles Wilson won the Hugo last year, and am just as thrilled to see Jack McDevitt get the Nebula this year. Not only are they two of the best writers in the field, they are wonderful people, and good friends. :)
Jack is a terrific human being, a tremendous talent, and has decerved this recognition for a long time. And also, I'm buying Rollback because I asked him to back up his blurb and he told me you completely hit this one out of the park. So he's good for your sales, too. :-)
