Often compared to Ursula K. Le Guin’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.

Winner Spectrum Award

Locus Magazine Recommended Reading List,

“Gripping”—Starlog

“Haunting and thought-provoking”—Library Journal

“Intriguing, intelligent”—Mysterious Galaxy

“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

A Magical World of Witches, Warlords and Shifting Realities

Haldane, son of Black Morca, who would make  himself King of the Gets

must suddenly flee for his life through a landscape grown alien,

his only companion an aging wizard of uncertain skills,

his only hope the perilous favor of the Goddess Libera,

to find his true identity amidst the standing stones of power on Stone Heath.

 

The tale of a remarkable journey by Hugo and Nebula winning Alexei Panshin and Hugo winning Cory Panshin.

 

 

Set in the artificial planetary system of Chalco-Doror, which is no more and no less than a vast cosmic machine, The Last Legends of Earth is a love story, a gripping saga of struggle against alien control, and an examination of the machinery of creation and destruction. Above all, it is world-building of the highest and grandest order, on a scale rarely seen in science fiction since the great works of Olaf Stapledon.

“Few novels have ever had a broader scope.”—The Denver Post

“The author’s use of language is, as ever, arresting.”—Roger Zelazny

“A wonderfully realized, richly-detailed and cohesive novel.” —People

Dark Secrets lurk behind Ra, a 21st century prison camp that also acts as a facility for harvesting metals—from the Sun.

As a lethal disease slowly spreads through the camp and the prisoners are abandoned, Ian Hutchings must find a way out if he and his people are to survive.
