Last week we asked you to nominate and vote for your favorite historical science fiction books. To be considered, books had to have a significant part of the plot set 50 years before publication date, and include at least one element of science fiction. While not all the reader nominations met the criteria, between here and the facebook group, there were plenty of incredible titles that did, and we have a solid slate moving forward to round two of voting!
Now, it's time to decide!
Last week you were able to nominate and vote for as many selections as you deemed worthy, this week we're going to pin you down to one selection. Which ONE historical sci-fi book is the very best? Vote for your pick below and throw your support for it in the comments here or in our facebook group.
*This list is made up by combining votes from this blog and our Facebook group.

OMG! Time Enough for Love is one of my favorite novels of the thousands I’ve read, but it is NOT in any way, shape or form historical sci-fi !!
Uh, early 1900s America, WWI. Those don’t count?
The 1900’s in America and WWI works for me. So does that wonderful book. It’s definitely the winner in my opinion.
Time enough for Love is probably the book that I have re-read the most times.
Would have helped if I had read any of the selection, so could not vote.
Oh my gosh! I can only narrow it down to 4 and no further!
