2024 Locus Awards Finalists

The finalists for the Locus Awards have been announced. The awards are voted on by readers of Locus Magazine and will be announced in mid-June. Over the years, they've become one of the major awards in the science fiction and fantasy field.

These are the finalists for Science Fiction Novel.

  • The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport, Samit Basu (Tordotcom)
  • A Fire Born of Exile, Aliette de Bodard (Gollancz; JAB Books)
  • Red Team Blues, Cory Doctorow (Tor; Ad Astra)
  • Furious Heaven, Kate Elliott (Ad Astra; Tor)
  • Translation State, Ann Leckie (Orbit US; Orbit UK)
  • The Terraformers, Annalee Newitz (Tor; Orbit UK)
  • Starter Villain, John Scalzi (Tor; Tor UK)
  • Lords of Uncreation, Adrian Tchaikovsky (Orbit US; Tor UK)
  • System Collapse, Martha Wells (Tordotcom)
  • The Road to Roswell, Connie Willis (Del Rey)
  • The only one of the finalists that I've read is The Terraformers, though I have Starter Villain and will probably read Red Team Blues after I finish The Bezzle.
