Fish Tails - Tapa blanda

"One of sf's most distinctive voices."--Locus on Sheri S. Tepper

"Her novels are the old-fashioned kind, despite their futuristic settings; the kind that wrap you in their embrace, that take over your life, that make the world disappear."--Village Voice Literary Supplement on Sheri S. Tepper

"Tepper balances pointed criticisms of our era with a calamity that appears to owe far more to Genesis than to science...the writing is slick and crafeully crafted, Xulai has plenty of pluck, and her companions possess a nearly ideal mixture of virtues, flaws, and enthusiasm for redemptive sacrifice."--Publishers Weekly on THE WATERS RISING

"Tepper has developed a dependable following with works that have an epic fantasy feel but that ultimately reveal logically consistent scientific trappings. This work is no exception, a successful blend of dying-earth fantasy and wicked-witch fable."--Booklist on THE WATERS RISING

"Tepper . . . excell[s] at world-building and at creating strong and independent characters."--Publishers Weekly on Sheri S. Tepper

"Sheri S. Tepper takes the mental risks that are the lifeblood of science fiction and all imaginative fiction."--Ursula K. Le Guin on Sheri S. Tepper

"This lyrical, beautifully written novel transcends the sum of its parts to become a parable of survival and hope in hopeless times."--The Guardian on THE WATERS RISING

"The Waters Rising delivers a strong, complex story that poses tough questions and demands a new look at the possibilities of the future."--Wichita Eagle on THE WATERS RISING

"The Waters Rising stands as a thoughtful allegory for environmentalism."--Iron Mountain Daily News on THE WATERS RISING

"Tepper's themes and messages are cutting, but the anger and sorrow embedded in them are delivered by the author's enduringly optimistic humanism. This is mastery of science-fiction storytelling that could only be the result of honing over a lifetime."--Booklist on FISH TAILS
