For Jamie and José, not much of a choice. But Praxis wouldn't be easy. To survive there, you had to depend on each other. And that requires honesty that few possess. Praxis is a bold experiment in society building, a monosexual colony, with no promises of survival and no return trip. But it's got potential. You just have to build a new civilization-on the other side of the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A wonderfully realized and self-contained story about sexual ambivalence (amongst many other things) that nevertheless leaves you hoping Gerrold's next SF tale picks up where this one leaves off.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Nigel Suckling, Hugo-winning author\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003ePraxis\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the very few books I've read where the premise of the society\/world\/universe is so interesting that it engages regardless of the plot. And the plot is a novel and unusual possible human situation, driven by the constraints of what may well come to pass, where traditional space opera is dragged screaming and kicking into a future with brand-new conventions. What \u003cem\u003ePraxis\u003c\/em\u003e is really (as is all the best SF), is the intro for a never-ending epic. But the evocative set-up is what I look for in speculative literature-and this book serves as a magnificent springboard for the reader's imagination.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- F. J.
