"Assimilate the Shadows." That's the only clue Kitty has been given to help her establish communication with the reclusive Kokkalns, an aqueous species that lives in the planet's upper mantle, perceives radio signals the way humans perceive light, and vaguely resembles a plate of seafood. Armed with this enigmatic phrase, Kitty is expected to unravel a biological puzzle that involves mysterious statues, multidimensional perception, and one very large, very cranky crustacean. It all sounds routine enough, but when a political embassy goes awry, Kitty's life depends on her ability to find the answer.

PRAISE FOR NANCY FULDA'S WRITING
"As engrossing and brief and clever as a Twilight Zone episode, Fulda's story hooks your attention from the first sentence and stays with you long past the startling, yet fitting, end." - Tangent Online

"The Breath of Heaven -- essentially a retelling of the HAL 9000 story, but with a very different outcome -- with its intricate examination of directives was a quite plausible updating of the classic three laws of robotics, and in some ways outshone both Asimov and Clarke in the way the story unfolded." -- Pearson Moore, Sift Book Reviews

"Movement is an award-caliber story, and clearly a major breakthrough in the career of Nancy Fulda." -- Aaron Hughes, Fantastic Reviews Blog
