Reviews
Praise for Crossfire : *"Life-sized characters with personal and cosmic preoccupations, tense and knotty plotting, and Kress's usual abundance of ideas: gripping, challenging work, a reassuring return to top form."-- Kirkus Reviews starred review "A satisfying thought experiment in science and philosophy. . . . Fans of serious SF will enjoy this tale of bravery, travel, adventure, and personal and social crisis."-- Publishers Weekly "In this latest thrilling offering by Kress, world-building and character development are flawlessly executed in a thought-provoking conjunction of passivity and morality."-- Romantic Times Book Club "Kress's aliens are convincing, and her colonists are all fascinating, developed individuals. The New Quakers embody their tenets: truth, simplicity, silence, and conscience. Dr. William Shipley, an aged, overweight, troubled father and New Quaker, is the moral center of the book. Together with colony leader Jake Holman, a troubled exec who bankrolled the colony with embezzled funds, the doctor determines the furure of both alien species and humanity as well. This thought-provoking book is highly recommended for high school libraries and young adult collections in public libraries."- VOYA "Kress operates up to her usual high standards, and she also makes ethical dilemmas as gripping as laser fights and the results of human-alien conflict rather than depend on which human contacts which alien. Choice stuff."-- Booklist

Synopsis
It began with Crossfire: a far-future novel of planetary colonisation and alien first contact. Jake Holman, a man trying to escape a dark past, brought together a diverse group of thousands to settle on a new world. The humans found themselves caught in the crossfire of a galaxy-spanning war between two disparate species: aggressive, militaristic humanoids known as Furs, and passive, plant like creatures known as Vines. Having now cast their lot with the peaceful Vines, humanity faces all-out war against the technologically superior Furs. Their only hope? A virus designed by the Vines to remove all aggressiveness from the Furs. Can it spread fast enough to save not only Holman's colony, but the rest of humanity?, With terrific characters and a surprise-filled plot set against a well-realized backdrop of alien worlds, Crucible poses some of the tough questions of today: how do you choose sides amid entrenched enemies? What is morally right when it comes to biological engineering, especially in times of war? How do you overcome millenia of bloodshed and emerge unscathed?
