Synopsis
Winner of the Specturm Award. Often compared to Ursula Le Guinns ground-breaking The Left Hand of Darkness, Dark Waters 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. *****The fact is that Stephen Leighs new novel is a fine piece of work and one that deserves to reach a wide readership.NY Review of Science Fiction*****
