I’ll nominate In the Ocean of Night by Gregory Benford. Fix-up novel that was nominated for Nebula in 1977. I haven’t read much Benford. It looks like his better-known Timescape was already read by the group.

Yeah, I think the group read it very early in its existence (before my time). I may tackle it later this year if there's time.

In the Ocean of Night by Gregory Benford
Halting State by Charles Stross
WWW: Wake by Robert J. Sawyer (note: first of a trilogy)
Redshift Rendezvous by John E. Stith

It's the only one nominated; I don't think we'd be obligated to finish it even as a challenge, unless the group wanted to.
Looking at the book description I just realized I have read Halting State, my notes say in 2012. The title didn’t ring any bells. (Often the case for me.)
