Dark Water's Embrace Stephen Leigh

Winner of the Specturm Award. 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. *****?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*****
