Black Man$24.95 add to cart

This year's winner is Richard Morgan's Black Man, a tale about a genetically engineered assassin.

In knocking off its mainstream literary competition, Morgan's novel has returned the Arthur C. Clarke Award to its pure science fiction roots.

Clarke established the prize in 1987. The inaugural winner was Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Other winners include Geoff Ryman, China Miéville, Amitav Ghosh, M. John Harrison for last year's Nova Swing.
