Shara Drummond was a gifted dancer and a brilliant choreographer, but she could not pursue her dream of dancing on Earth. So she went to space, creating a new art form in three dimensions. And when the aliens arrived, there was only one way to prove that the human race deserved not just to survive, but to reach the stars. The only hope was Shara, with her stardance.

The Hugo and Nebula Awardโ€“winning Stardance series pioneered the concept of zero gravity dance, which even sparked the interest of NASA and shortlisted co-author Jeanne Robinson for a seat on a space shuttle to become the first actual freefall dancer in space. Though theChallengerexplosion cancelled that dream, now Jeanne is being given a second chance to choreograph dance in space โ€ฆ on film.

Spider Robinson is renowned for his Callahanโ€™s Place series of bestselling novels. With his late wife, Jeanne, he wrote the award-winning Stardance series. As an audiobook reader of his own and othersโ€™ work, he has won the Earphones Award and been a finalist for the Audie Awards. In 2008, he won the Robert A. Heinlein Award for Lifetime Excellence in Literature.

Jeanne Robinsonย (1948โ€“2010) was a writer, choreographer, dancer, teacher, and lay-ordained Buddhist monk. She was artistic director of Halifaxโ€™s Nova Dance Theatre for eight years and choreographed thirty original works. Her Hugo and Nebula winning 1976 novella Stardance pioneered the concept of zero gravity dance, and inspired three novels.

Reviews

โ€œStardance is a major work not only as entertainment but as a literary masterpiece.โ€

โ€œLarger-than-life characters, a love of dance and music, and a grand vision, with a sense of ecstasy that infuses much of the novel.โ€

โ€œThe Robinsonsโ€™ messageโ€”that love and communication are what being human is really aboutโ€”is delivered with plenty of action, high-tech and character development.โ€

“This captivating science fiction novel is brought to life in a vivid and memorable reading by one of its authors. Who better to understand this complex work, both in its utter humanity and the complicated setting in which it exists? Spider Robinson reads with vigor and honesty, relating his tale of the unbelievable and fantastic in the most earnest of performances…A truly vivid tale!”
