The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel from the New York Times-bestselling author of The King's Daughter.   On an Earth scarred by nuclear war, Snake harnesses the power of venom to cure illnesses and vaccinate against disease. The healer can even ease patients into death with the power of her dreamsnake. But she is not respected and trusted by all, and when she tries to help a sick nomad child, the frightened clan kills her dreamsnake.   Ashamed of being misjudged and grieving the loss of her dreamsnake, Snake has one choice to maintain her livelihood: she must travel to the city, which jealously guards its knowledge. And before she faces the prejudices and arrogance of the people there, Snake must make her way across a barren desert, surviving storms and radiation poisoning, helping those she can-all while a madman stalks her every move . . .   "[Dreamsnake] is filled with scenes as suspenseful as anyone could wish . . . but most of all it addresses the humanity in all of us." -The Seattle Times   "A haunting, rich, and tender novel that explores the human side of science fiction in a manner that's all too uncommon." -Robert Silverberg   "A splendid tale, combining the sensitivity and attention to mood of the new generation of SF writers with a gripping and well-worked-out adventure . . . The novel is rich in character, background and incident-unusually absorbing and moving." -Publishers Weekly   "Instead of kicking butt, the lead character is dedicated to saving lives. . . . Snake's blighted world is expertly drawn, and her encounters with dysfunctional societies can be bracing and challenging reading." -The Guardian   "This is an exciting future-dream with real characters, a believable mythos and, what's more important, an excellent, readable story." -Frank Herbert, author of the Dune series

319 Pages; 160 Grams; ** Goodreads; In a far-future, post-holocaust Earth, a young healer named Snake travels the world, healing the sick and injured with her companion, the alien dreamsnake. But she is being pursued. ** Wikipedia; The story is set on Earth after a nuclear holocaust. The central character, Snake, is a healer who uses genetically modified serpents to cure sickness-one snake is an alien "dreamsnake", whose venom gives dying people pleasant dreams. The novel follows Snake as she seeks to replace her dreamsnake after its death. ** The book is considered an example of second-wave feminism in science fiction. McIntyre subverted conventionally gendered narratives by rewriting a typical heroic quest to place a woman at its center, and by using devices such as avoiding gender pronouns to challenge expectations about characters' gender identities. Dreamsnake also explored varying social structures and sexual paradigms from a feminist perspective, and examined themes of healing and cross-cultural interaction. ** The novel was well-received, winning the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award, and the Locus Poll Award in 1979; ** Nebula Award Winner; >>1/4" x 3/4" Crease-Tear at bottom left front cover corner; reading cresing to paper spine; spine slant; cover creasing; Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall.
