Robert J. Sawyer has won two Aurora Awards, including best of the decade — a prize given out every 10 years — for his Neanderthal Parallax trilogy. He also won the award for best novel of the year for Quantum Night.
The Aurora Awards are administered by Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association, with members voting for the winners. The awards recognize novels, young adult books, graphic novels and more related to the genres of sci-fi and fantasy.
Margaret Atwood, along with illustrator Johnnie Christmas and colourist Tamra Bonvillain, won best graphic novel for their book Angel Catbird, Volume 1, the first volume in a three-part series about a part-man, part-bird, part-cat superhero.
The Aurora Awards' best YA novel category was won by James Bow for Icarus Down, a tale that mixes conspiracy with adventure and set on a planet that is dangerously close to the sun.
