Publisher's Summary

A New York Times best seller and winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards, Dreamsnake is the haunting, critically acclaimed novel of an extraordinary woman and her dangerous quest to reclaim her healing powers.

When the healer Snake was summoned, she traveled the blasted landscape with her three serpents. From the venom of two of them, she distilled her medicines. But most valued of all was the alien dreamsnake, whose bite could ease the fear and pain of death.

When the dreamsnake is killed, Snake's powers as a healer are all but lost. Her only hope of finding another dreamsnake lies in a treacherous journey to the far-off Center City, where Snake will be pursued by two implacable followers: one driven mad by love, the other by fear and need.

    "Average"

    Not a bad story; however, I don't feel that it is Hugo or Nebula quality.

    I'm a technician that does a lot of driving for his job. I use the "windshield" time to listen to audiobooks.

    "Probably good for when it was written."

    I think this was written in the late 70's and I'm sure it was quite good for it's time. By today's standard I found it average.

    "Chick Book"

    Very imaginative and enjoyable enough, but written from a more emotional prespective that would seem to be geared more toward women. I'm not motivated to read other books by this author.
