Shara, a gifted choreographer and dancer, can't find work.

When an alien force invades, it is up to Shara to find a way to communicate and save Earth.
Nebula- and Hugo-Award winner for Best Novella.
"The Robinsons' message -- that love and communication are what being human is really about -- is delivered with plenty of action, high-tech and character development."
- Publishers Weekly
on STARDANCE the Novel, based on the award-winning Novella:
"STARDANCE is a major work not only as entertainment but as a literary masterpiece."
- Chicago Sun Times
"Larger-than-life characters, a love of dance and music, and a grand vision, with a sense of ecstasy that infuses much of the novel . . ."
- Locus Magazine
on Spider Robinson:
"If one were given the task of creating Spider Robinson from scratch, the best way to do it would be to snatch James Joyce from history, force-feed him Marx Brothers films and good jazz for the better part of a decade, then turn him loose on a world badly in need of a look at itself."
- The Vancouver Sun
"Spider Robinson is the hottest writer to hit science fiction since Harlan Ellison, and he can match the master’s frenetic energy and emotional intensity, arm-break for gut-wrench.”
- The Los Angeles Times
“Nobody’s perfect, but Spider comes pretty damned close.”
- Ben Bova
"A Master!"
- Locus
"Spider Robinson is the Tom Robbins of the 21st century."
- John Varley
"Spider Robinson is a master storyteller…"
- Allen Steele
[Spider Robinson] "embodies the best of Sturgeon, Heinlein, and Asimov."
- David Gerrold
"Robinson's creative imagination is admirable."
- Publishers Weekly
