But on the planet Hara, where society is increasingly instability, caught between hard-liner traditions and the realities of life, only male and female genders are legal, and the odd-bodied population are forced to pass as one or the other. Warreven Stiller, a lawyer and an intersexed person, is an advocate for those who have violated Haran taboos. When Hara regains contact with the Concord worlds, Warreven finds a larger role in breaking the long-standing role society has forced on him, but the search for personal identity becomes a battleground of political intrigue and cultural clash. Winner of a Lambda Literary Award for Gay\/Lesbian Science Fiction, \u003cem\u003eShadow Man\u003c\/em\u003e remains one of the more important modern, speculative novels ever published in the field of gender- and sexual identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50383744958737,"sku":"CIN1590212428G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1590212428.jpg?v=1751087624"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/paragons-of-queer-speculative-fiction-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
