Congrats to American science fiction author David Macinnis Gill, whose new Young Adult book Black Hole Sun (HarperCollins / Greenwillow, August 2010), a "future-dystopia kick-ass action novel set on Mars,” just received a Best Cannibal Award from Library Journal:"You read that right. Cannibals made their way into many books for teens and adults this past year. Gill's cannibals -- the Dræu -- are on Mars, led by an evil queen with her own bloody appetites. These beasties plague an outcrop of miners who seek aid from Durango, the chief of a small crew of disgraced Regulators, now working as mercenaries for hire. The snappy wit of Durango and his sexy second-in-command, Vienne, paired with the bloodthirsty joy with which the Dræu go about their work makes for delightful reading-so much so that it can be easy to overlook Gill's masterly world-building."
Invisible Sun, a sequel to Black Hole Sun that continues the adventures of hero Jake "Durango" Stringfellow on Mars, is scheduled to be published in the winter of 2012.
