2022 Hugo Award Finalists

The finalists for the 2022 Hugo Awards for best science fiction and fantasy of the year have been announced. The awards are voted on by members of the World Science Fiction Convention and will be announced at Chicon 8 in Chicago over Labour Day weekend. 

These are the finalists for Best Novel.

Light From Uncommon Stars, Ryka Aoki (Tor; St. Martin’s)

The Galaxy, and the Ground Within, Becky Chambers (Hodder & Stoughton; Harper Voyager US)

A Master of Djinn, P. Djèlí Clark (Tordotcom; Orbit UK)

A Desolation Called Peace, Arkady Martine (Tor; Tor UK)

She Who Became the Sun, Shelley Parker-Chan (Tor; Mantle)

Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir (Ballantine; Del Rey) 

In the short fiction finalists, Cat Valente, Alix Harrow, and Seanan McGuire all have multiple nominations. For Best Series, I hope that Charlie Stross wins for The Merchant Princes and I will be very surprised if Dune doesn't win the Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form award.
