I am sure you would all like to join me in congratulating all the winners, and finalists – and especially MGC’s Sarah A. Hoyt on winning the Best Alternate History novel with Kevin J Anderson. Well deserved!
I know just how much effort and research Sarah put into this book, and how little backing it got. Despite that, it’s been a great success, and, obviously, popular with readers. Not some narrow, exclusive little clique of right-thinkers, the self-appointed guardians of what is ‘good’ sf/fantasy, but the group that really counts. The readers.
A Dragon is commendation, a guide to what is popular and enjoyable, a way to grow our genre.
Bravo!!!
Encore!!!!

*Imagines Sarah and Kevin with boxing-gloved-hands held over heads, as grey goo books lay scattered across the mat* Cue the theme to Rocky!
Not only had I heard of most of the books nominated for the Dragons–unlike for the Hugos–I’d read them. So thrilled for Sarah and KJA. Uncharted is an awesome book. I’m anxiously awaiting word on whether or not there will be a sequel by the two of them.
That’s what I’m sayin’. I actually know that Sarah Hoyt is the pen name of a Conservative Mormon male from Utah, with a great rack. And Kevin J. Anderson is some guy that wrote something once. K. Tempest Who? Nora Who?
Kidding aside, two people whose many books are in my library (from when I used to read) finally got an award. Because they deserve it, and because Lewis and Clark in magical America is fricking genius. What a concept!

It is truly liberating to select between multiple good choices, rather than holding your nose and selecting the least horrible among multiple lousy choices.
Congrats to all!
Totally agree. I can’t remember the last time I felt that way about the Hugos.
Once again, congratulations!!!

Definitely adding this to the pile of “to be read soon” books. Congrats on the big win.
Congratulations!
I’ll take this opportunity to point out that technically, the Hard Magic series is alternate history books. 😛
Dragons are indeed recommendations. Unlike the Hugos the ones I am familiar with make me believe the ones I’m not are worth a gander.
Dragons are recommendations, Hugos are caution signs.

Congratulations to the winners.
Congratulations! It is refreshing to see that an open forum for competition still exists.
