Bonjour,
En tant que membre du comite des prix Aurora 2000, je suis fier d'annoncer
que la remise des prix cette annee aura lieu dans le cadre du congres
Toronto Trek 2000 (TT2000), le 14-16 juillet 2000, a Toronto.
Plus de details au http://www.icomm.ca/tcon/tt14/index.shtml
La saison des nominations aux prix Aurora est ouverte! Vous pouvez
telecharger le formulaire de nomination au site officiel des Prix Aurora:
http://www.sentex.net/~dmullin/aurora/ Dix categories, cinq nominations
possible dans chaque categorie. Que les meilleurs soient retenus!
Si, justement, vous ne savez pas trop qui est eligible aux prix cette
annee, vous pouvez consulter la liste d'eligibilite disponible au
http://www.sentex.net/~dmullin/aurora/list2000.html Bien que la liste
n'est pas encore complete, le pendant francophone de la liste y est bien
fourni, grace aux efforts exceptionnels de Claude Janelle et (dans une
bien moindre partie) de votre correspondant.
Si jamais vous reperez des erreurs dans cette liste d'eligibilite (votre
nom ne s'y trouve pas ou est mal ecrit, des oeuvres eligibles ne sont pas
mentionees, d'autres n'y ont pas leur place, etc...), veuillez m'en faire part
immediatement pour que je puisse les corriger. La liste annuelle
d'eligibilite aux prix Aurora est ce qui se rapproche le plus d'une
bibliographie complete de la sf canadienne, d'ou l'importance d'en assurer
l'exactitude.
Je vous encourage donc d'aller jetter un coup d'oeil sur la liste et de me
faire part de vos commentaires.
A la prochaine,
Christian Sauve ae556@freenet.carleton.ca

opening his heart to this new-found sonS
"A Slope So Slippery" -- Keith Scott

No bone had ever held its secret from Natalie before. Why
was this one so different?
"Corrective Surgery" -- J.S. Lyster
He wanted to call out his ex's name ... but he couldn't
remember it. Humane therapy for an obsession, or mental cruelty?

Technology may change, but an age-old problem remains- What
happens when an innocent man is convicted ... and nobody cares?
"Sonata in Weapons" -- Linda J. Dunn
Some cadets would do anything to advance a chair in the
orchestra. But did one kill for it?
"Alien Intents" -- Marianne O. Nielsen
All kinds of conditions precipitate homicide, but when you
have two different species involved, and a third trying to solve the
crime, "Why dunnit?" becomes the key question.
"Nor Iron Bars a Cage" -- Leslie Brown
Her punishment was a thousand years of solitude. Finding out
she had company was not the reprieve she thought it would be.

COVER by James Beveridge:
"I do gotz a Rolex. It's a cozy little Class M homeworld in the
Specularus Oneria Cluster. It's got no moons but I can set yaz up wit
one as a package deal. Cheap, like downtown, ya wan' it?" the sly
little alien intoned to me as the noxious drip from the puffalox on
his cheek dangled, refusing to fall.
