Les voilà.
Parmi les candidats à ces prestigieuses récompenses, on notera notamment la présence de Saladin Ahmed dans la catégorie meilleur roman (quand on vous dit que c'est bien...) ou bien sûr de Brandon Sanderson pour sa novella The Emperor's Soul, également chroniquée sur le site. Sans parler de la française Aliette de Bodard !
Les vainqueurs seront dévoilés lors de la prochaine World Science Fiction Convention, à San Antonio, qui se déroulera au Texas du 29 août au 2 septembre.
