Book Description:
On the planet of Elsewhere, the Council had  always enforced the governing of each province in  the manner the people had chosen, so long as each  respected its neighbors' local customs--and so long  as the people remained within their homelands.  Generations later, inhabitants have begun to question  this tradition. The Council has received  mysterious messages and reports of strange manifestations  across the planet. Now, Enforcer Fringe Owldark has  been sent with a small crew of seven, each  possessing an unusual talent, to investigate their worst  fear--the arrival of the Hobbs Land gods. Free will  and the reality of God are just too of the  timeless issues this courageous band of humans must  confront as they strive to decide if complete tolerance  and leaving others alone is evil. . .and what they  should do if it is. Vividly imagined and  exquisitely rendered, Sideshow is Sheri S. Tepper's most  controversial novel yet.

This book takes place on the planet Elsewhere, where the last a humanity is hiding from the Hobbs Land Gods. Elsewhere man is left alone to find his destiny. Problem is, what is mans destiny? Is it to be inslaved my power hungry leaders? Is it for many to inslave woman? Is it for woman to inslave man? Elsewhere has every type of system, and devation is not allowed. Meanwhile, elsewhere on Elsewhere, trouble is a brewing.

This book gets of to a slow start but the end makes it all worth it.

Complex, imaginative, and powerful. All of Teppers books are fantastic, and this one doesn't fail to please.
