Dobitnici nagrade Locus za 2015. godinu

 

Na netom održanom Locus Weekendu u Seattleu, objavljeni su dobitnici nagrade najprestižnijeg magazina za znanstvenu-fantastiku koja se pod imenom Locus Award dodjeljuje od 1971. godine. Zanimljiva, a danas svakako i aktulana jest i činjenica da je nagrada nastala iz potrebe da se utječe na nagradu Hugo. Locusovu nagradu određuju čitatelji magazina, a za očekivati je da među njima ima puno onih koji su samo fanovi, a ne i profesionalci u žanru. Dakle, premda manja, ali slična baza glasača kao i za Huga. U svjetlu posljednjih događaja oko Huga, zanimljivo je vidjeti što je dobilo Locusa, usporediti to s dobitnicima Nebule i pripremiti se na ono što nas čeka za koji mjesec na Worldconu i dodjeli Huga. U popisu, dobitnici su na prvome mjestu i boldani, a, naravno, dobitnike u kraćoj formi imat će te prilike čitati u narednim brojevima Siriusa B:
