Let's see what you all think!

PS. Please don't turn this into a comments thread on other peoples choices.
PPS. I added Lake of Sharks as an afterthought and also because I wanted to give something a 1.

It is indeed close at the top.
Calculus Affair is a point ahead of Tibet, then Blue Lotus, then Black Island and Prisoners in joint fourth place.

Lake of Sharks is last, but a few people chose not to vote for it; then Alph-Art and Soviets tie at second to last.

The biggest surprise to me is that Ottokar is currently tied with Flight 714 as joint sixth...

Maybe a cut-off point should be set and after this the totals for each book totted up to produce a 'definitive ranking' kinda thing?!

Yes, or I could edit the first post with a running update of the totals so far.
