Erom Hugo-wlnner JOAN D. VINGE, here are—

Visions.

Visions of love and conflict, anguish and Tomorrow. Of oufcasts who must bridge łhe obsessions of two posł-Holo-causf worlds; and an asfronaut who finds her life's quest betrayed by a device from an alien past.

A prince who became a beggar, with the power of the dragon; and a feudal serf who met a high-tech lord, with the magie of a peddler.

A Cat who had lost his mind-powers—and a Dream-weaver who had lost her mind.

A barbarian priestess whose beauty challenged the world, and whose child could melt the heart of an alien God—on a crippled Earth that swam beneath a vast Cyclopean eye.

The visions of Joan D. Vinge.
