This is the Hugo from 2015. A few words come to mind like scientific, complex and cosmic. To add to the mix this book has been translated from Chinese. The first Hugo winner to have done so. I had trouble with the characters as I was not used to them having chinese names but I managed to know who was who by the end. Another way to describe it is an updated War of the Worlds. There are two sequels but I will not be persuing them as I have other sequences to fill in. There is also the pursuit of the Retro-Hugos. These are a special case where for whatever reason Hugos were not awarded that year. So years later they had another look at stories from that time and then awarded the prize. There are eight missing years, therefore eight more books to go on the hunt for.
