Congratulations to veteran Martian science fiction & fantasy author Allen Steele, whose 2010 novelette “The Emperor of Mars” (free read, pdf) won a Hugo Award last night at Renovation, the 69th World Science Fiction Convention, held in Reno, Nevada!
Published in the June 2010 issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine, “The Emperor of Mars” revolves round a roughneck stationed on a near-future Mars, who, after suffering severe emotional trauma, develops some unusual reading habits, which leads to some rather erratic behavior, as he devolves into Emperor Jeffery the First, sovereign monarch of the Great Martian Empire, warlord and protector of the red planet!
