Overview: “Sandkings” is a novelette by American writer George R. R. Martin, first published in the August 1979 issue of Omni. In 1980, it won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette, the Nebula Award for Best Novelette and the Locus Award for best novelette, and was nominated for the Balrog Award in short fiction. It is the only one of Martin’s stories to date to have won both the Hugo and the Nebula.
It takes place in the “Thousand Worlds” universe, and is set on the Manrealm planet of Baldur during the post-Interregnum period. It is about a jaded dilettante who purchases a few organisms of an alien species for entertainment, but when he fails to care for them properly they develop into a threat.
“Sandkings” is set in the same fictional “Thousand Worlds” universe as several of Martin’s other works, including Dying of the Light, Nightflyers, A Song for Lya, The Way of Cross and Dragon and the stories collected in Tuf Voyaging.
