My recommendations for the 2015 Hugo Awards

(Disclaimer: English is my second language, so I want to apologize in advance for there may be mistakes in the text below. If you find any, please let me know so that I can correct it. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.)

The Hugo Awards nomination period closes in just 10 days and, as per usual, I am still trying to catch up with my reading to complete some of the categories of my ballot. However, since some persons have expressed a difficult to understand interest in my recommendations, I want to share at least those works that almost surely I will be nominating (should I decide to add others, I might be editing this post to reflect them).

At the moment, my nominations for the main literary categories are the following:

Novel

• The Three-Body Problem, Liu Cixin (my review)
• Dark Eden, Chris Beckett (this is a 2012 book, but was published in the USA for the first time in 2014, so it is eligible and it is an awesome awesome novel) (my review in Spanish)
• The Abyss Beyond Dreams, Peter F. Hamilton (my review)
• The Rhesus Chart, Charles Stross (my review)

Novella

• "The Regular", Ken Liu (originally published in Upgrade, ed. Neil Clarke; now included in Forever 1, which is available as a free download)
• Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome, John Scalzi (Tor.com) (my review in Spanish)
