Passion Play

ISBN D - i 4 m - b 5 2 m - "THE BEST PIECE OF CANADIAN SF SINCE THE HANDMAID'S TALE... It establishes Stewart beyond a doubt as a writer to watch." —Horizons SF PASSION PLAY THE A W A R D - W I N N I N G DEBUT BY S E A N NOVEL STEWART "EXCITING, TENSE . . . A MORAL TALE A N D A THRILLER AT THE SAME TIME." —Edmonton Journal "THIS CYBERPUNK SAGA OF A LADY P.I. . . . IN A NOT-SO-DISTANT FUTURE IS, QUITE SIMPLY, TERRIFIC . . . The story isn't the usual rant against religion. This is a much more textured, much deeper tale of temptation and death . . . Faust as a whodunit. But it's Diane Fletcher, snarling off the page, who makes the story click." —Toronto Globe and Mail "THE BOOK'S INNER LIFE IS SUPPLE A N D VIBRANT . . . Stewart's political sophisti­ cation is matched by an equally subtle appreciation of character . . . Passion Play's prose style is particularly impressive . . . a happy balance between the lean and the poetic." —Vancouver Sun "A TERRIFIC NOVEL by an author whose talent is both obvious and subtle, a story that engages the imagination and, even better, leaves echoes that linger after the book has been shelved . . . A NEW VOICE AS DISTINCTIVE AS ANY IN SF." —Robert Charles Wilson PLQU SERN ACE BOOKS, NEW YORK If you purchased this book without a cover, you should be aware that this book is stolen property.
