I’m happy to announce that the German language version of The Second Ship (Das zweite Shiff) has been chosen for the short list for the German Reader’s Choice Award in the Science Fiction Category. (Leserpreis – Die Besten Bucher)  Below is the announcement:

Dear Richard

I hope you are doing well. For the sixth time already, we would like to honor the authors of the best books this year, which struck, entertained or impressed our readers the most whilst reading. We are excited that the so-called “Leserpreis” is as successful as the previous years since it is the biggest people’s choice book award in the German-speaking region. More than 4,500 different books and authors were nominated. Until yesterday, the readers could choose their favourite books for the Leserpreis 2014. Hereby, we would like to congratulate you: Your book “Rho Agenda – Das zweite Schiff” (The Second Ship) was chosen most often by the readers and therefore made it to the shortlist in the category Science fiction. In each category there are now 35 books available for choice. As of today you can see the shortlists on the following website: http://www.lovelybooks.de/leserpreis/2014/abstimmungen/science-fiction/#liste

Now the important phase starts: readers can vote for their favourite books until November 27th. On Friday, November 28th, the Leserpreis in Gold, Silver and Bronze will be awarded.

Best wishes Marcel from the LovelyBooks Team
