Superluminal
Laenea Trevelyan, a starship pilot, has her heart replaced with a machine so she can survive faster-than-light travel. Orca, a diver, divides her time between starships and the Strait of Georgia, where her relatives include a family of killer whales and a group of other divers, human beings who can exist underwater, and who are, technically, at war with the United States. Radu Dracul, a colonist from the alien world Twilight, having chosen to leave his home and become a starship crew member, discovers he has abilities he never dreamed of. (Houghton Mifflin, 298 pp.)

Dreamsnake
The Nebula and Hugo award winning novel, based on the Nebula-winning story
“Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand.”
“This is a book like a mountain stream — fast, clean, clear, exciting, beautiful.”
“It’s a haunting, rich, and tender novel that explores the human side of science fiction in a manner that’s all too uncommon. The world it creates is vivid and fascinating, and Snake is a marvellously well realized character.”
— Roger Zelazny
“A splendid tale, combining the sensitivity and attention to mood of the new generation of SF writers with a gripping and well-worked-out adventure.”
— Publishers Weekly
