Yellow30 Names Xlibris Title as Best Book in Sci-fi, Fantasy Genre

written October 4, 2007

Yellow30 Sci-Fi recently named the Xlibris fantasy novel, The Oneprince, as winner of its Charon Sci-Fi Award. The announcement was made on October 1, 2007.

The self-published book, by Bill Hand, was recognized as the best book published in the science fiction, fantasy, or alternate history genre between 1999 and 2005. The Oneprince beat out three other finalists in the category, including another Xlibris title, The Mushroom Circle by Clare C. Newbury.

The Oneprince is set in the time of sword and sorcery and follows the tale of prince Quad in his quest to restore peace to the kingdom of Redaemus. The book has been described as “a challenging fantasy, with excellent description and characterization, and an impressively devious story line.”

Meanwhile, the Charon Sci-Fi Award was created by Yellow30 as a one-time recognition for the best sci-fi, fantasy, or alternate history book published between 1999 and 2005.
