Ender's Shadow held onto the number one paperback position for the second month in a row, with twice the points of the next contender. New runner-up: Gregory Benford's The Martian Race (Warner Aspect). Nominees: 104, up from 89.

Cryptonomicon dominated the trade paperback category, retaining the top position for the fourth month straight (and seven of the last nine). The Mists of Avalon is back again. New runner-up: A Red Heart of Memories by Nina Kiriki Hoffman (Ace). Nominees: 64, up slightly from 62.

Susan Wright's Star Trek: Dark Passions, Book One and Book Two were all alone atop the media-related list. Nominees: 28, down from 32 last month.

DragonLance: Dragons of a Fallen Sun beat out the gaming-related competition 3:1. Nominees: 28, one more than last month.
