Publisher’s Summary

The Sharers of Shora are a nation of women on a distant moon in the far future. They are pacifists, they are highly advanced in biological sciences, and they reproduce by parthenogenesis – because there are no males. Conflict erupts when a militaristic neighboring civilization decides to develop their ocean world and sends in an army.
A groundbreaking work both of feminist science fiction and of world-building hard science fiction, A Door into Ocean is the novel that made Joan Slonczewski’s reputation as an important science-fiction writer.

What the Critics Say

“[A] dreamy, poetic book…very much in the spirit of Dune or Le Guin’s works. It’s tough to build a world, particularly if you try to get the science correct. Author Slonczewski accomplishes that difficult feat and manages a gripping plot into the bargain. Maybe LeGuin has competition.” (San Francisco Examiner)
