The Hugo Award Winners

Book Review, © Copyright 2003, Jim Loy

The books listed below have won the Hugo Award for science fiction, presented at the World Science Fiction Convention, and is perhaps the most prestigious science fiction award. The award is named after Hugo Gernsback, editor of many science fiction magazines, and perhaps the foremost popularizer of science fiction. I have read most of these books, and they are very very good.
