Shortlist announced for 2011 Gemmell Awards

The Shortlist for the 2011 David Gemmell awards have been announced and it looks set to be a very fierce competition in all three categories. Great to see Jordan and Sanderson's Towers of Midnight making it through in the Legend category, along with Jemisin's The Hundred Thousand Kingdom's that I reviewed last month.
