Britansko društvo za znanstvenu fantastiku (BSFA) objavilo je nominacije za 2020. godinu. Nagrada se dodjeljuje djelima objavljenima u Velikoj Britaniji u protekloj godini. O dobitnicima odlučuju odnosno glasaju članovi BSFA i članovi Eastercona (nacionalne SF konvencije koja se održava od 1955. godine). Ovogodišnji Eastercon je zapravo ConFusion, on-line konvencija koja će se održati od 02.-05. travnja, gdje će biti proglašeni dobitnici nagrade BSFA.
Od nominiranih romana kod nas u prijevodu za sada možete pronaći samo Piranesi autorice Susanne Clarke kojeg je prošle godine objavio Vuković & Runjić. No situacija ipak nije toliko loša jer znamo da Hangar 7 trenutno prevodi drugi nastavak serijala Tinjajući rat Garetha L. Powella – Flota noževa (čije prvo poglavlje možete pročitati ovdje), što znači da nakon njega stiže i treći nastavak – Light of Impossible Stars. Hangar 7 objavljuje i djela Adriana Tchaikovskog, pa se tako u dogledno vrijeme može očekivati i prijevod romana The Doors of Eden.
