Awards (verified)
- Locus Award (Best SF Novel), 1982: won; Corroborated by two independent secondary aggregators during this admission's research; a direct spot-check against locusmag.com's own award-year index was not completed this session and is worth a follow-up before treating this as fully primary-sourced.
- Nebula Award (Best Novel), 1981: nominated; Verified directly on SFWA's own official Nebula Awards site.
Notes
- From the series record (Saga of Pliocene Exile): The core tetralogy: one continuous story of the Pliocene exiles.
