BN.COM, the online service of major U.S. bookseller Barnes and Noble, has announced its 1999 "Year's Best" list for Science Fiction and Fantasy. Robert J. Sawyer's FLASHFORWARD is listed third, with the following review:

Robert J. Sawyer consistently makes intelligent, mind-blowing science fiction accessible to the mainstream reader with his efficient, easy-flowing prose, his exciting ideas, and his superior character development. Over the past several years, Sawyer's stunning thrillers have produced multiple Hugo and Nebula nominations, enough for most to recognize him as the leader of SF's next-generation pack. His newest novel, the near-future FLASHFORWARD, is every bit as good, if not better, than his previously recognized high-tech whirlwinds.
