The healer Snake travels through a post-apocalyptic world with her genetically engineered serpents, the cobra Mist and the rattlesnake Sand, and with the alien dreamsnake Grass, whose venom eases pain and the fear of death. Dreamsnake won the Nebula, Hugo, Locus, and Pacific Northwest Booksellers' Awards. Vonda N. McIntyre's Nebula-winning novel, The Moon and the Sun, has been optioned by Bill Mechanic (executive producer of The New World) and Pandemonium Films (Coraline).
