"Hugo" is one of the most famous and respected awards in the field of science fiction. It has been awarded since 1953 and the winners in various years have become Roger Zelazny, Philip K. Dick, Robert Silverberg, Ursula Le Guin and many other recognized masters of the genre.
Several years ago, the list of Hugo nominations was replenished with a new one - for the best series. The Vorkosigan Saga and Chalion Lois McMaster Bujold, The Wanderers Becky Chambers and The Space by James Corey have already won in this category. I would like to tell you about those cycles that claim to be awarded this year - among them there are many notable ones, although, unfortunately, not all of them have been published in Russian yet.

So far, without communication with the rest of humanity, individual planets occasionally remained. But it's becoming clear that pretty soon the entire Empire of Interdependence is threatened with isolation. The trilogy by John Scalzi is the story of the empress's struggle with the frivolous aristocracy, which, against the backdrop of a catastrophe, worries only about its own benefit, politics and intrigues.
