written before the above book for men. I have to say, I understood what he was trying to get across, but still felt very lost. I couldn’t connect with alot of what he was saying. So either I’m pretty well off, or super screwed up, lol. Maybe reading it WITH someone would help, I don’t know.

Not truly a selfhelp because they are both Christians. It looks at the unique problems that a woman must deal with, mostly of the psychological and emotional variety. Made me glad I wasn’t a woman.

lots of politics and intrigue. Among the humans, the zhirrzh and another alien species which are playing all sides against each other for their own gain. Ends well.

split between the humans viewpoint and the zhirrzhs’ viewpoint. Very cool. Realize everything is based on a mistake, cool twist.

immediate prequel to Episode III. Once I got past my distaste of Anakin[ie, Christian Hayden], I was really able to enjoy this book. Definitely fleshes out the happenings in Ep III.a

the concluding book. It was enjoyable, but I am glad I was able to get them thru local libraries instead of buying them. The Great War ends and humanity is trying to find its place in a universe of peace. And that is where it ends.

/edited to add
I did end up buying this series in hardcover

womens lib in Cobra guise. That was my first reaction years ago when I first read it. But on this second reading, not nearly so bad. Justin’s daughter takes up the Cobra Mantle and is the only person available in a Humans against Qasaman Troft-push for mutual annihilation.
