These stories of Cherry Wilder's are so beautifully crafted, poignant, and perfect in their humanity, and their heartfelt observation ... here is some very superior fiction indeed. Ian Watson

The best of these stories are reminiscent of J.G. Ballard's shorter works ... The stories are composed of odd bits of SF material: robotic slices of life, strange marine creatures, dreamy imagery, and lushly tropical landscapes ... Her people are exceptionally self-possessed, and by the end of each of the tales even the robots have managed to make peace, both with themselves and with their wondrously exotic, vividly imagined worlds. Locus

Nine stories, mostly SF, by an excellent and often under-rated writer.
