From the title piece, "Blue Apes" - a story of discovery, loss and betrayal on a distant planet - to "Sunday's Child"- an account of an alien born to human colonists - Phyllis Gotlieb's short fiction explores issues and passions that are deeply human, even when her characters are not. Gotlieb writes in the American SF tradition from a decidedly Canadian perspective.
"Phyllis Gotlieb demonstrates ... she has a special talent for conjuring up alien types that are both fresh and totally convincing."
- The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction -
