Product Description
*** Winner of the Spectrum Award. *** “Gripping”—Starlog *** “Haunting and thought-provoking”—Library Journal *** “Intriguing, intelligent”—Mysterious Galaxy *** “...an exciting novel from a well-respected writer. Once again, we have a work of fine science fiction which shows us how important biology is to our destiny.” —Feminist Bookstore News *** “The fact is that Stephen Leigh’s new novel is a fine piece of work and one that deserves to reach a wide readership.”—NY Review of Science Fiction ***
**** Often compared to Ursula Le Guinn’s ground-breaking The Left Hand of Darkness, Dark Water’s Embrace is a fascinating look at issues of human (and alien) sexuality. Stephen Leigh creates a rich world with elaborate care and uses this alien backdrop to delve into issues of survival, sexuality and the meaning of life itself. ****
