Temporal Boom by J M Voss wins 2024 Aurealis Best Science Fiction novel award

7 May 2025

Melbourne based sci-fi and speculative fiction author J M Voss was named winner of the 2024 Aurealis Best Science Fiction novel award, on Sunday 4 May 2025, with her novel Temporal Boom. The novel’s premise is intriguing to say the least:

Thirty years ago, the world ended. Not everyone, however, got the memo…

The nation formerly known as Australia struggles on, its red lands stalked by eleven beings of strange and anomalous power. Known as the Portents, their very existence defies all science. A trail of brutal and inexplicable deaths follow those who encounter them.

Quinn Kelly got too close to a Portent once and survived, although not unchanged. When Quinn begins to display an affinity for Time, there are many who would stop at nothing to use her for their own ends.

Quinn, however, would much rather use her preternatural powers to start a punk band — and there is no man, woman, nor overzealous cyborg detective on Earth who can stop her…

The Aurealis Awards, which recognise original Australian speculative fiction published in the previous calendar year, is also celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of their founding in 1995. Thirty years, that’s quite an achievement.
