Time does not flow as we think.The plots merge unexpectedly... Afterward thereare lasting images. A reader may never lookcomfortably at a weed again."-- "Oklahoma City Oklahoman""I discovered magic in the pages of this ingenious, fascinating tale."-- Garry Kilworth, author of "Angel""[Tepper] takes the mental risks that are the lifebloodof science fiction and all imaginative narrative.-- Ursula K.
