Looking for science fiction celebrated by more than one award? These novels and novellas won in at least two distinct award families in our catalog.
Each work must have a winning record in at least two of Hugo, Nebula, Locus and Clarke. Multiple nominations do not count as wins, and several wins in one award family count as one distinct family. Awards are a useful starting point, not a guarantee that every book will suit your taste.
