1992 Prometheus Award Nominees

Location: Unknown.

Comments: Apparently tired of making it public that they were consistently inducting mediocre novels into their Hall of Fame while giving the cold shoulder to much better books that were nominated against them, the Libertarian Futurist Society appears to have decided to solve this problem by simply not listing the non-winning nominees. Ironically, in 1992, one of those better books that had been an also-ran in previous years actually gained induction into the Hall of Fame, so perhaps this plan was not as well thought out as its creators might have thought.
