Ann Leckie's debut novel scoops this year's prize
"There's always something extra special when a new or first time writer wins a prize like the Arthur C Clarke Award, and Ancillary Justice is very special indeed," said award director Tom Hunter.
"I was recommended this book more than any other last year. Always by people whose opinions I trusted, and what was really interesting to me was that the people making those recommendations were people I would usually associate as having very different kinds of taste. Clearly this explains all of the attention Ancillary Justice has been getting across the field of SF awards, and I couldn't be more delighted to see Ann join the ranks of Arthur C Clarke winners."
Ancillary Justice is out now from Orbit. Read our review here.
