Merculians Novel Siege of Hearts

While on tour to the mysterious planet Abulon, the pleasure-loving hermaphrodites of the Merculian National Dance Company are intrigued by the virile patriarchal society they discover there. The natives seem friendly enough, but when the star's young lover is kidnapped, the Merculians find themselves plunged into an alien civil war that they are ill-equipped to survive. QUOTES/REVIEWS "Caro Soles has written a crackerjack SF novel -- moving, eloquent, and richly textured. I recommend it highly." Robert J. Sawyer Nebula and Hugo Award-winner "THE ABULON DANCE is an intricate and fast-paced novel of political intrigue and clashing alien cultures. The characterizations are rich, detailed, and subtle, the action engrossing. I finished it in a single sitting." Robin Wayne Bailey Author of the Shadowdance and the Brothers of the Dragon series
