Her Smoke Rose Up Forever cover

A stunning collection from one of science fiction's great short story writers.

For a decade Alice Sheldon produced an extraordinary body of work under the pseudonym James Tiptree Jr, until her identity was exposed in 1977. HER SMOKE ROSE UP FOREVER presents the finest of these stories and contains the NEBULA AWARD-winning LOVE IS THE PLAN THE PLAN IS DEATH; HUGO AWARD-winning novella THE GIRL WHO WAS PLUGGED IN; HOUSTON, HOUSTON, DO YOU READ? - winner of both the HUGO and NEBULA - and of course the story for which she is best known: THE WOMEN MEN DON'T SEE.

This is a true masterwork - an overview of one of SF's true greats at the very height of her powers.

Exquisite, lyrical prose ... keen insight and ability to depict singularity within the ordinary - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Tiptree is one of the best story writers in or out of the field - LOCUS

There is just one great collection of Tiptree's fiction still in print - HER SMOKE ROSE UP FOREVER - NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
