Proglašeni dobitnici prestižne nagrade ”Lokus”

Abaddon's Gate - James S.A. CoreyU subotu 28. juna proglašeni su dobitnici “Lokus” nagrade za 2014. godinu.

Prema izboru čitalaca “Lokus Magazina” prestižnim priznanjem za najbolji naučnofantastični roman, ove godine je ovenčano ostvarenje “Abadonova kapija” Džejmsa S.A. Korija. Reč je o trećem delu izuzetno popularnog serijala, kojeg pod zajedničkim pseudonimom potpisuju Danijel Abraham i Taj Frenk.

Pored ovog naslova u najužem izboru za nagradu bila su dela: “MaddAddam” Margaret Etvud, “The Best of All Possible Worlds” Karen Lord, “Shaman” Kima Stenlija Robinsona i “Neptun’s Brood” Čarlsa Štrosa.

Prilično očekivano, Gejmenov “Okean na kraju puteljka” proglašen je za najbolji roman iz domena fantastike, ostavivši iza sebe dela kao što su: “NOS4A2” Džoa Hila, “River of Stars” Gaja Gavrijela Keja, “Doctor Sleep” Stivena Kinga i “The Republic of Thieves” Skota Linča.

Ove godine Gejmen se okitio još jednim “Lokusovim” priznanjem – njegovo kratko prozno ostvarenje “The Sleeper and the Spindle” proglašeno je za najbolje u kategoriji novelete.

Ketrin M. Valente je takođe nagrađena u dve kategorije. Knjiga “The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two” dobila je nagradu za najbolji omladinski roman, dok je epitet najbolje novele ponelo njeno ostvarenje “Six-Gun Snow White”.

“Ancillary Justice” En Leki zavredilo je laskavo priznanje za najbolji roman prvenac, a nagrada za najbolju kratku priču pripala je Ketlin Kirnan za “The Road of Needles”.

Nagradu za najbolju antologiju dobili su Džordž R.R. Martin i Gardner Dozoa za “Old Mars”, dok je nagrada za najbolju zbirku priča pripala Koni Vilis za “The Best of Connie Willis”.
