Despite only a slim chance for survival, most of the strangers are determined to colonize their new home.

One holdout wants to accept her fate realistically and prepare for death. But her desperate fellow survivors have no intention of honoring her individual right to choose. They're prepared to force her to submit to their plan for reproductionwhich will prove to be a grave mistake ... In Hugo and Nebula Awardwinning author Joanna Russ's trailblazing body of work, ';her genius flows and convinces, shames and alarms' (The Washington Post).
