They summon and she travels: Snake, the healer. Through the blasted landscape of a post-holocaust world, she carries her three serpents. From the venom of two, she distills her medicines; but it is the third, the alien dreamsnake—whose bite can ease the fear and pain of death—that is the most valued.

When the dreamsnake is killed by those she has come to help, her powers as a healer are all but lost. Her only hope now lies in the treacherous journey to far-off Center City, where Snake will be pursued by two implacable followers: one driven mad by love, the other by fear and need.

Vonda N. McIntyre (1948–2019) was an award–winning and New York Times bestselling author of science fiction. She was one of the earliest successful graduates of the Clarion Science Fiction Writers’ Workshop. She gained prominence with the 1973 publication of “Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand,” which won a Nebula Award for Best Novelette and served as the initial section of Dreamsnake, which won both a Nebula and a Hugo award. The Crystal Star made the New York Times bestseller list.

Anna Fields has received five Audie nominations from the Audio Publishers Association and is proud to have won in 2004 for All Over Creation by Ruth Ozeki. She has also been honored by Audiofile magazine with more than a dozen Earphones Awards. She has voiced over 250 audiobooks.
