Science-fiction master, Neil Peart friend, and prog-rock lyricist (Roswell Six) Kevin J. Anderson just found out this morning that he’s been nominated for a Hugo Award–the single highest award in science fiction–for his novel, The Dark Between the Stars.

The nomination: for best science fiction novel of the year!

Excellent, Kevin!  Absolutely excellent.  Every progarchist sends her or his good thoughts your way.  Whoo-hoo!
