Winners of the 2017 Dragon Awards:
It’s official – DragonCon announced the winners of the 2017 Dragon Awards. I am pretty psyched that James S.A. Corey (Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) took the award for best novel with “Babylon’s Ashes,” the sixth book in the Expanse series set in the near-future after humanity has colonized the solar system. I have read all six novels, and each one is fantastic. I am also a huge fan of “Stranger Things” and the Patty Jenkins’ film “Wonder Woman” starring Gal Gadot. Good stuff. Did any of your favorites take home an award?
