Nova has been a leading science fiction and fantasy imprint in the Spanish-speaking world since it was founded three decades ago within the editorial line of Ediciones B. A benchmark within both themes, its catalog has classic authors of both fiction such as Orson Scott Card, Frank Herbert, Dan Simmons or popular, such as Carl Sagan. After the acquisition in 2017 of the literary division of Grupo Zeta, Nova became part of Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, where it has consolidated its position of reference by incorporating new stars of the genre such as Brandon Sanderson, Ernest Cline, Andy Weir, China Mieville and Cixin Liu into its catalog. In 2016 it received the European Science Fiction Society Award for the best European publisher.
