January is SciFi month here at Chanticleer Reviews where we celebrate CYGNUS Book Award winners!
And we have reason to celebrate! And the CYGNUS Book Award Winners definitely have reason to celebrate!
In case you are wondering, yes, that is the CYGNUS constellation on the CYGNUS badge. Gorgeous isn’t it?
Harper Collins Voyager has picked up CYGNUS Grand Prize Winner Bennett R. Coles for his latest work Winds of Marque. Titan U.K. picked up his CYGNUS award-winning Virtues of War and then contracted for two more books in his series: Ghosts of War and March of War.

The CYGNUS Book Awards, a division of the Chanticleer International Book Awards, is looking for the best books featuring space, time travel, life on other planets, parallel universes, alternate reality, and all the science, technology, major social or environmental changes of the future that author imaginations can dream up. Hard Science Fiction, Soft Science Fiction, Apocalyptic Fiction, Cyberpunk, Time Travel, Genetic Modification, Aliens, Super Humans, Interplanetary Travel, and Settlers on the Galactic Frontier, Dystopian, we will put them to the test and choose the best among them.
AND we have found some great reads!

We wonder which CYGNUS Book Award winner will receive the next big publishing contract or land a top agent…?
When we started the CYGNUS Book Awards, we included science fiction, fantasy, steampunk, paranormal, lab lit, time travel, etc.
We have since added:
- OZMA Book Awards for Fantasy Fiction
- PARANORMAL Book Awards for Supernatural & Paranormal Fiction
- Global Thriller Book Awards for Lab Lit and Global Thrillers (think James Bond or Se7en)
