Congratulations to T.C. McCarthy, winner of the 2012 Compton Crook Award for his novel Germline (US | UK | ANZ)!

The Compton Crook Award is presented by the Baltimore Science Fiction Society at Balticon, which takes place from May 25-28. McCarthy will be appearing at Balticon this weekend, so if you’re attending, be sure to congratulate him in person.

Germline is the first book in McCarthy’s Subterrene War series, followed by Exogene. Look for the conclusion, Chimera (US | UK | ANZ), later this year.
