Nebula Awards 2019: Die Gewinner
Die Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America haben gestern die Gewinner der diesjährigen Nebula Awards bekannt gegeben.
Als bester Roman wurde Mary Robinette Kowals THE CALCULATING STARS ausgezeichnet, der erste Band aus ihrer LADY ASTRONAUT-Serie. Darin geht es um eine parallele Erde in den 1950er Jahren, die von einem Meteoriten getroffen wurde, weswegen es zu einem Space Race kommt um andere Welten zu kolonisieren – denn die Erde wird unbewohnbar. Elma York, Women Airforce Service Pilot im zweiten Weltkrieg, arbeitet mit anderen am Programm der International Aerospace Commission, einen Mann auf den Mond zu bekommen. Doch irgendwann fragt sie sich, warum sie nicht – gegen alle Konventionen – ebenfalls Astronaut werden kann.
Die vollständige Liste der Nominierten und Gewinner im Folgenden, die Gewinner sind fett markiert.
