Sideshow

On the planet of Elsewhere the Council had  always enforced the governing of each province in  the manner the people had chosen so long as each  respected its neighbors'' local customs--and so long  as the people remained within their homelands.  Generations later inhabitants have begun to question  this tradition. The Council has received  mysterious messages and reports of strange manifestations  across the planet. Now Enforcer Fringe Owldark has  been sent with a small crew of seven each  possessing an unusual talent to investigate their worst  fear--the arrival of the Hobbs Land gods. Free will  and the reality of God are just too of the  timeless issues this courageous band of humans must  confront as they strive to decide if complete tolerance  and leaving others alone is evil. . .and what they  should do if it is. Vividly imagined and  exquisitely rendered Sideshow is Sheri S. Tepper''s most  controversial novel yet.
