Kress's idea-packed sequel to Crossfire carries an inventive juxtaposition of cultures and political systems offering much food for thought., Kress is becoming equally adept with hard science, alien contact, planetary collonization, and action, combining them with exceeding, possibly unique flair. A must for sf collections., Kress is becoming equally adept with hard science, alien contact, planetary colonization, and action, combining them with exceeding, possibly unique flair.

Synopsis
Nancy Kress made her reputation in the early 90s with her multiple award-winning novella, "Beggars in Spain," which became the basis for her extremely successful Beggars Trilogy (comprising "Beggars in Spain," "Beggars and Choosers," and "Beggars Ride"). Since then she has written over a dozen novels, including the well-received "Probability Trilogy," culminating in "Probability Space," which garnered her the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best SF Novel. Now comes a brand new science fiction epic. It began with "Crossfire" a far-future novel of planetary colonization and alien first contact. Jake Holman, a man trying to escape a dark past, brought together a diverse group of thousands to settle on a new world. But instead the humans found themselves caught in the crossfire of a galaxy-spanning war between two disparate species: agressive, militaristic humanoids known as Furs and passive, plantlike creatures known as Vines. Into this volatile mix arrives the "Crucible," a ship from Earth filled with military personnel who stand ready to help defend the colony. As they help consolidate the defenses and prepare for war, the original colonists soon learn that vigilance comes with a price. Having cast their lots with the peaceful Vines, humanity faces all-out war against the technologically superior Furs. Our only hope? A virus designed by the Vines to remove all aggressiveness from the Furs. Can it spread fast enough to save not only Holman's colony, but the rest of humanity? And at what price to the Furs? Driven by strong ideas and deep moral questions, and peopled with real-as-life characters, Crucible shows Kress at the top of her form, amply demonstrating why she has been one of science fiction finest authors of the past twenty years.
