American author Ann Leckie secured her place in the annals of science fiction history after her debut novel, Ancillary Justice, was named best novel at the prestigious Hugo awards. In a ceremony held on Sunday night at London's ExCel centre, as part of this year's 72nd World Science Fiction convention, the novel – a space opera narrated by the artificial consciousness of a starship – was awarded the highest accolade, making it one of this year's most garlanded science fiction books.
Leckie has been cited as "science fiction's next big thing" after Ancillary Justice won the 48-year-old author a Nebula award, the esteemed Arthur C Clarke award, the British Science Fiction Association award and now a Hugo.
