published by Tammi.
Prometheus Awards
The Libertarian Futurist Society has announced the winners of this year’s
Prometheus Awards as follows:
Novel: Darkship Thieves, Sarah Hoyt (Baen Books)
Hall of Fame: Animal Farm, George Orwell
Sarah Hoyt will receive a plaque and a one-ounce gold coin, while a smaller
gold coin and a plaque will be presented to Orwell’s estate. The award ceremony
will take place during Renovation, the 69th World Science Fiction Convention,
to be held Aug. 17-21 in Reno, Nevada.
The press release included the following comments on the winning works:
Darkship Thieves features an exciting, coming-of-age saga in which a heroic
woman fights for her freedom and identity against a tyrannical Earth. Hoyt’s
novel, dedicated to Robert A. Heinlein, depicts a plausible anarchist society
among the asteroids. Hoyt is a prolific writer of novels and short fiction,
though this is her first time as Prometheus finalist.
