Най-добър роман трябваше да е 2312, безапелационно. И тя си има не малко кусури, но книги като нея се появяват твърде рядко. Не съм чел останалите, но „Redshirts“…?!
Скалзи има голяма фен база от блога си, примерно аз го следя, а не съм чел нищо от книгите и разказите му. В Хюго-тата не е толкова зле като на David Gemmel наградите, но известността и geek cred-a на автора пак си оказват влияние.
2312, при все сериозните си недостатъци, е най-добрата от четирите номинирани книги, които съм изчел, и определено най-амбициозната като замисъл. Но явно популярността на Скалзи си e казала думата.
Сандърсън смята Скалзи за нещо хипер голямо и свой основен „rival“, така че не се очудвам на избора им. Разбира се, бих искал да прочета тази книга и да видя какво толкова има в нея, де.
