Fighter rivals eye Warsaw's Harpia opportunity
Fighter manufacturers eyeing the Polish air force's Harpia requirement used the annual MSPO exhibition in Kielce to promote their respective candidates.
Boeing views its F-15 and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet as potential contenders, and Gene Cunningham, vice-president, global sales for its Defense, Space & Security unit, also believes there could be an opportunity for its electronic warfare-roled EA-18G Growler.
With Warsaw yet to define its requirements, Cunningham notes that Boeing's production lines for the F-15 and Super Hornet will have the capability to deliver aircraft even if the tender process is protracted.
The Eurofighter consortium used to the show to promote its multirole Typhoon for the requirement, which seeks to replace Poland's RAC MiG-29 fighters and Sukhoi Su-22 ground-attack aircraft.
Andrea Nappi, Leonardo's vice-president, Eurofighter export, outlined a possible partnership path with Polish industry. This would start with providing access to state-of-the-art technology and involvement with the integration of Polish-specific equipment, helping to develop autonomous engineering capabilities, defining operational, in-service and training requirements and supplying advanced components. Longer term, local companies could also participate in a future European multi-role fighter development programme.
"Eurofighter is offering newly manufactured aircraft, with the highest level of capabilities," Nappi says. "There are different options for workshare for industry and the air force, depending on the Polish side's requirement for support."
Leonardo is also interested in offering its armed M-346FA to Warsaw, which is a current operator of its baseline advanced jet trainer. The developmental variant "can be an affordable solution for air-to-ground and air policing missions", Nappi says.
Speaking ahead of the show, Ana Wugofski, Lockheed Martin's vice-president international business development, said the company is waiting for Poland to issue a request for information for the Harpia programme. It could offer either the F-16 Block 70/72 or F-35, she says. The nation's existing F-16C/D Block 52+ fighters could also potentially be upgraded to the latest F-16V standard, with the work performed in the USA, or in Poland with US technical assistance.
At MSPO, Lockheed international business development executive Joe Breen said the integration of the company's AGM-158 JASSM cruise missile with the Polish air force's F-16 fleet is now entering a second phase, introducing the extended range -ER variant. Production of missiles for the service will start in 2019, ahead of deliveries from 2021 and full operational capability being achieved the following year.
With the Harpia programme likely to advance on a government-to-government basis, Saab has not commented on the opportunity, but the Swedish company is expected to promote its Gripen E.

Saturn Gandanta: Untying Your Karmic Knots
In Vedic astrology, the planet Saturn is known as the Lord of Karma. Why? Because Saturn, a strict teacher and disciplinarian, forces us to reflect upon our lives and use past experiences, thoughts and feelings (both positive and negative) as lessons to transform ourselves into better, more spiritually advanced human beings. This can be a difficult (and even painful) task at the best of times, but when Saturn is in retrograde—as it has been this year between Scorpio and Sagittarius from April 6th to August 25th—we can feel like we've been tossed onto an emotional roller-coaster without a seat belt. And while we can learn a lot about ourselves and our relationships during this period, it is likely been a stressful and very bumpy ride—we can become so focused on our own situation that any external demands upon our time and energy can make us feel like we're about to snap!
The good news is that the ride is almost over; the not so good news is that things could get even more intense before the roller-coaster comes to a complete halt. That's because Saturn is retrograde, exiting Sagittarius and entering Scorpio—placing it squarely in the final, 29th degree. The final degree of any sign is known in Sanskrit as its Sandhi degree, which translates as "connecting place"—the place where the energy of two different signs converge. This is always a challenging transit because the merging energies can stir up a lot of suppressed thoughts and feelings. But this Sandhi may prove extra challenging as it is also a Gandanta, meaning the convergence point of the incompatible energies of water and fire: Sagittarius is a fire sign, Scorpio is a water sign, and Saturn, the Lord of Karma, is caught in a tug of war between the two.
However, this Gandanta does not mean Saturn is stuck in a stalemate of two competing astrological forces—a Saturn Gandanta can be a dynamic and highly progressive transit if we successfully channel the conflicting energies swirling around us. Gand means "knot" and anta means 'end', so in the context of Saturn, this Gandanta will likely present us with varied situations and circumstances to self-reflect, accept some difficult personal truths, and take steps to untie any karmic knots we've created through our behaviour and attitudes in the past. Saturn will undoubtedly compel us to look deep within ourselves during this period and examine all we have done to bring us to this point in our lives. While at times we may feel we are about to drown in emotion or be consumed by regrets and remorse, we must remain calm, go with the flow and hold fast to the realization that we are experiencing this for a reason—to gain self-knowledge and be transformed into happier, more successful and spiritually healthier beings.
We can help you make the right choices during this period of intense transformation. Make the most of this Saturn Gandanta! Call us at 1-866-428-3799 from Canada or the U.S. You can reach us from anywhere in the world by calling: 1-819-428-4298, or click here. We are here to help!

13. Elysium
Image via Complex Original
Stars: Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Wagner Moura, Diego Luna, Alice Braga, William Fichtner
Release Date: August 9
First-time directors couldn't ask for a more auspicious and impactful debut movie than District 9, the 2009 Oscar-nominated, bloody sci-fi allegory from South African filmmaker Neill Blomkamp. With such a triumphant introduction typically comes carte blanche to make whatever the hell you want for a sophomore picture, and, very easily, Blomkamp could've cashed out and taken on a major remake, reboot, or sequel. Instead, he pushed another one of his self-written properties through. Respect due.
He even nabbed Matt Damon to topline the flick, titled Elysium, and it looks like the A-list actor is about to get grittier than ever before. Set in the year 2159, Elysium finds Damon playing an ex-con in a world where wealthy people live in a luxurious space station while the less-fortunate reside on an overpopulated, resource-deficient Earth.
So, basically, it's George A. Romero's politically charged Land of the Dead, but with enormous weapons (like the gun in Damon's hands above) replacing flesh-eating zombies. Works for us.

A team of astronomers has discovered that tiny Mercury has a molten core, just like our own planet. The discovery was made using three ground-based radio observatories that bounced radio waves off the planet, and then analyzed the return signals.
Before this research, scientists were divided about the structure of Mercury. Most models predicted that it has an iron-rich core, but it wasn't known if it had completely cooled, or was still liquid inside. Trace quantities of sulfur and other chemicals could have mixed in with the planet while it was forming, and this kept it from completely solidifying over time.
The astronomers first beamed a series of radio waves at the surface of Mercury, and then measured them as they bounced off the surface and returned to Earth. The returned signals were analyzed by a trio of radio telescopes: the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, NSF's Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, and the NASA/JPL 70-meter antenna at Goldstone, California.
They were able to detect a wobbling of the signal that was double what you would expect from a planet with a solid core, but exactly the right amount for a planet with a liquid core.
Their research is the cover story of the May 4, 2007 edition of the Journal Science.

Manga Discourse in Japan Theatre
By Fukushima
During the Japanese 'bubble' economy of the 1980's, the youth of Japan began to exert unprecedented influence on Japanese culture through their spirited patronage of certain art forms previously deemed subcultural or avant-garde. Among these were manga (Japanese comics or animation) and shogekijo (Japanese little theater). These art forms, while very unlike in the manner in which they were produced and disseminated, can be shown to exhibit a common language: manga discourse. This discourse presents the ludic, image-oriented, and seemingly infantile but simultaneously transhistorical language. The range and meaning of these discursive forms as they are related to changes in the forms of shogekijo in Japan between the 1960's and the 1980's are explored here, using the work of Noda Hideki and his troupe Yume no Yuminsha as example.Founded in the early 70's in the dark recesses of the University of Tokyo, Noda's troupe blossomed into a major component of the theater boom of the bright leisure-oriented 80's. The question which Noda's theater raises for those who seek to define Japan's modernization in the arts is how something defined as instinctively 'little' could become so big? In line with its predecessors in the avant-garde movements of the 1960's and 70's, the 1980's shogekijo borrowed from popular theater of the pre-modern period, in reaction to the western - and script-oriented shingeki, and from modern comedy in early twentieth century Japan.But unlike its avant-garde predecessors, it eschewed direct political confrontation with the power holders and consciously sought to expand its audiences through capitalistic means. Japanese youth born in the postwar generation could be led to appreciate the anti-shingeki message of shogekkijo, Noda predicted, only if it could be put in the playful and fantastic language of manga discourse. In some ways, this counterintuitive movement to youth subculture fulfilled shogekijo's mission to return theater to its Japanese roots and thereby complete the process of a truly Japanese modernization in the arts.

"No apologies. Just repent. Seriously." was the Rev. Dr. George E. Tinker's message during "An Act of Repentance toward Healing Relationships with Indigenous Peoples." The service took place on Friday evening, April 27, during the 2012 General Conference of The United Methodist Church.


Raia laughs off her beauty sleep!
Nearly a month after this recent post, Aria of the Teething Baby, was written, enamel has emerged from one of Raia's bulging gums on top. Just on one side and just a smidgen, but finally, some breakthrough.
I suppose that means we can rest in peace at night for awhile now. Oh wait, no we can't! Because Raia is cooking up another tooth! And because I, despite a mouth full of ivories, impede my own respite. And have confounded the medical world as to why I do not sleep through the night.
A night at the sleep lab.
The eve before the first day of school.
So there was me, somehow laced with about 2 dozen wires protruding from my head, legs, neck, chin, chest, etc etc. There is really no explanation for how I managed a short and disjointed 5 hours of sleep that night at all (10 p.m. to midnight, then 3 to 6 a.m.).
And since I dismantle my own bed at home every morning, it is an indescribable miracle that 1. I did not dismantle the hospital bed and 2. that I did not pull out every single wire attached to my body. Only three were pulled out. But on the other hand, some glue is still stuck in my hair.
Can anyone really sleep like this? Let alone a baby?

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has announced that it will postpone indefinitely the implementation of the zipper-lane or counterflow lane for southbound vehicles on EDSA after an unsuccessful dry run on Friday morning.
After causing massive traffic jam for northbound vehicles during its implementation from 9:30AM to 11:30AM on Friday, MMDA General Manager Thomas Orbos said that the agency will review the execution of the zipper-lane before pushing through with the planned implementation on January 23, 2017.
"We will study, we will try to make adjustments... in fact zipper lane is not a permanent solution, it is a bypass and a bypass helps, and it is a ready bypass that we can always use until we are ready again. We will go back to our drawing board to take care of our adjustments," said Orbos.
The postponement, Orbos clarified, does not mean the total cancellation of the plan to use a zipper-lane to decongest the southbound lane of EDSA during the morning rush hours.
"This needs a very thorough study, zipper lane is just one of the solutions. What do we intend to achieve? Volume reduction, do we want it? I might face criticisms on this, this bitter pill is there. I am trying to prevent that," added Orbos.

The Noel Coward Collection | 7 DVDbox
2008, DVD box,
This gala - more than 19-hours - seven-disc box set (plus more than 12 hours of bonus audio interviews, musical performances, speeches, and radio plays) immerses viewers in Coward's vanished urbane world, where formidable and fascinating characters are often caught between their natural instincts and the laws of society.
Take Gilda, Otto, and Leo, who, flout convention by living as three in the quintessential Coward play, "Design for Living" (1979). Or the bohemian Bliss family, whose members each, independently, invite a guest up for a very chaotic weekend in "Hay Fever" (1984). Or monstrously self-absorbed actor Garry Essendine, who frantically keeps dewy-eyed admirers, an ex-wife, and a persistent playwright at bay in "Present Laughter" (1981). Or Amanda and Elyot, a divorced couple reunited on their respective honeymoons in "Private Lives" (1976). These farcical comedies of bad manners, all among Coward's most popular, are "jagged with sophistication" and effervescent with "easy, swift dialogue." But it's not all gay banter and cocktails. "The Vortex" (1969), the once-controversial play that put Coward on the map, is anything but a laughing matter.
This Noel Coward Collection is rich with 'small and large enchantments.' The productions, originally broadcast on the BBC, cannot be said to be definitive, but they are each tastefully mounted (only "Present Laughter" is marred by intrusive shots of a live theatre audience), and for the most part, superbly acted. Penelope Keith (To the Manor Born) is splendid as the tempestuous Amanda in "Private Lives" and the theatrical Judith Bliss in "Hay Fever". Joan Collins acquits herself admirably in "Tonight at 8:30" (1991), a series of eight one-act plays that range from light comedy to tragedy. Other casting coups include Paul Scofield and Deborah Kerr in "A Song at Twilight" (1982) about a successful writer, his former lover, and a secret she threatens to reveal, and Judi Dench and Ian Holm as "Mr. and Mrs. Edgehill" (1985), a wartime drama.
This marvelously entertaining anthology is an embarrassment of riches and essential for theatre buffs or anyone looking for an oasis of smart and cultured entertainment in a Superbad world. --Donald Liebenson
DVD Description
Noel Coward was a master playwright whose prodigious talent dominated the theatre of the 1920s and 30s.
"The Vortex" made him an immediate hit and controversial sensation. "Hay Fever," "Private Lives," and "Design for Living" are as popular today as when they were first performed. His series of one-acts "Tonight at 8:30" which he performed with Gertrude Lawrence have become a treasure trove for modern theatre companies.
This DVD collection features star-studded BBC productions of Coward's full-length plays, one-acts and short stories plus bonus features including several radio plays, interviews and profiles of Coward. It's a must-own set for lovers of great theatre.

Brexit 1) May optimistic about getting the right deal
"Theresa May has predicted "difficult moments" ahead in Brexit negotiations but said she is optimistic she can get a deal "that is right for the UK". Speaking at a summit in Brussels, she said she felt it could be achieved, despite the continuing deadlock over a landmark EU-Canada trade deal. Mrs May said she had played an active role in discussions and was not "backwards in coming forwards"." – BBC

Brexit 2) PM rejects demand that talks be held in French
"Theresa May has slapped down demands by the EU that the Brexit negotiations are conducted in French, as she rebuked European leaders for their lack of maturity. The Prime Minister used her first European Council meeting to dismiss calls by Michel Barnier, the EU's lead Brexit negotiator, for the "working language" of the exit talks to be in French. She also suggested that "immature" EU leaders are looking for "problems" rather than "opportunities" during the Brexit talks." – Daily Telegraph
Brexit 3) Osborne admits mistakes in the referendum campaign
"George Osborne has said he made "mistakes" in the EU referendum campaign and failed to understand the anger felt by many Leave voters. The former chancellor said many voters felt "completely disconnected" and didn't feel part of a "national economy that works for them". "I think many used the EU referendum to express that anger," he said. Mr Osborne, who was sacked as chancellor in July, had campaigned for the UK to remain in the European Union." – BBC
Brexit 4) Warning of civil unrest in Northern Ireland
"A former senior police officer has warned that Brexit could lead to "civil unrest" in Northern Ireland. Peter Sheridan, now chief executive at Cooperation Ireland said the peace process is in a "fragile state". He said the numerous agreements that make up Northern Ireland's peace process show the brittle nature of its politics." – BBC
Brexit 5) I'm happy to lead the 48 per cent says Soubry
"If Theresa May models herself on Elizabeth I and Nicola Sturgeon is the new Mary Queen of Scots, then Anna Soubry is more like Boadicea. The Conservative MP for Broxtowe, in Nottinghamshire, is becoming the leader of the backbench rebels determined that the new establishment will not trample all over those who fought to remain in the European Union. "I'm more than happy to be the voice of the 48 per cent," the former minister says." – Interview The Times(£)
Brexit 6) EU "incapable" of agreeing Canada trade deal
"A trade deal between the EU and Canada is on the brink of collapse because a Belgian region with a population of just 3.6 million opposes it. An emotional Canadian Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland left the talks in Brussels, saying the EU was "not capable" of signing a trade agreement. Belgium, the only country blocking accord, needed consent from the regional parliament of Wallonia." – BBC
Canadian Minister reduced to tears – The Times(£)
Brexit 7) Davis promises Scots a key role in negotiations
"David Davis used cooling words in Glasgow, insisting that Scotland would play a key role in the Brexit negotiations with a view to helping it, as well as other parts of the UK that voted Remain, to prosper once Britain pulls out. The minister was in the role of a Sherpa, trying out the ground with Mike Russell, Scotland's Brexit minister, and preparing the way for a meeting between Prime Minister Theresa May and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, as well as other leaders of devolved governments, to be held in London on Monday." – Daily Telegraph
Brexit 8): Health Minister Lord Prior says leaving EU "terrible mistake"
"Leaving the EU is a terrible mistake and Britain must stay in the single market and maintain skilled immigration, a health minister has said. Lord Prior of Brampton, who has responsibility for NHS relations with the EU, said that the government must "do everything we can" to keep market access and attract qualified people from overseas." – The Times(£)
IDS to campaign against cuts to in work benefits
"Conservative backbenchers, including the former work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith, are preparing to campaign against £3bn of planned cuts to in-work benefits, in a fresh sign of the pressure Theresa May faces from within her own party. Veterans of the backlash against the deep cuts to tax credits George Osborne was forced to withdraw last year are gearing up to put pressure on his successor, Philip Hammond, in the run-up to November's autumn statement." – The Guardian
Government borrowing rose in September
"Government borrowing rose by more than expected to £10.6bn in September, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The figure was £1.3bn higher than the same month last year. For the financial year to date between April and September, borrowing fell by £2.3bn to £45.5bn." – BBC
Teachers waste too much time on marking says Gibb
"Teachers are spending too much time over-marking pupils' homework, Schools Standards Minister Nick Gibb has said. He told MPs that marking in different-coloured pens, and giving feedback in exercise books, had never been a government or an Ofsted requirement. He told the Education Committee that the practice was adding to teachers' workload – one of the top reasons given by them for leaving the profession. Instead, work should be marked with a simple grade, he suggested." – BBC
5,000 refugee "children" found to be adults
"Almost 5,000 refugee 'children' who have come to Britain in the past decade have been found to be adults. Home Office figures reveal there have been 11,121 disputes over the ages of child asylum seekers in that period, with 4,828 – almost 45 per cent – found to be over 18. Their treatment as 'children' would have left councils and local taxpayers facing a care bill of tens of millions of pounds a year. The statistics come amid rising concern that Britain's generosity towards genuine child victims of war and terror has been abused, following questions over the apparent age of some of the child migrants arriving from Calais this week." – Daily Mail

Turin Bill talked out by Gyimah as Government plans its own gay posthumous pardon law
"A bill that would have wiped clean the criminal records of thousands of gay men has fallen at its first parliamentary hurdle. The private member's bill would have pardoned all men living with UK convictions for same-sex offences committed before the law was changed. There were emotional scenes with one MP fighting back tears during his speech. The government, which has its own plans for posthumous pardons, "talked out" the bill, which will not now go ahead. Minister Sam Gyimah spoke for 25 minutes, reaching the time limit allotted for the debate." – BBC
Parish discovers four in ten councils breaking air pollution rules
"More than 150 local authorities are breaching legal limits on air pollution, according to official figures which undermine the government's claim to be tackling the problem. Ministers are planning clean-air zones in five cities by 2020 but the figures show 169 councils, 40 per cent of the total, had nitrogen dioxide levels in excess of EU limits last year….Neil Parish, the Conservative MP who obtained the data, said: "These figures show just how widespread the problem is." – The Times(£)

Parris: New threat to press freedom
"If (as rumoured) Theresa May's government now plans to activate the as-yet uninvoked Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013, then newspapers in England and Wales may have to choose between state regulation and death. Too theatrical? Well, imagine your angry next-door neighbour thinks a tree in your garden spoils his view. He wants to sue, but isn't confident he could win. Now he learns that there's been a change in the law. He can sue you, and even if he loses, you will have to pay his legal costs — unless the judge decides this would not be "just and equitable in all the circumstances". Alice in Wonderland? Evidently. But that is what Section 40 would do to newspapers." – Matthew Parris The Times(£)

Moore: Russian threat more dangerous than during the cold war
"What the invasion of Hungary did not do, however, was create inter- and transcontinental instability. Hungary was in the Soviet sphere, and so the Nato allies were not obliged by treaty to intervene. But in 2016, if Putin decides to invade the Baltic states or Poland, or indeed, Hungary, we are. In this sense, the situation now is more dangerous than it was then. The Russians can see that we don't know what we would do if they attacked (let alone merely subverted) a Nato ally. Putin may conclude that our indecision is so great that he could get away with it. That, after all, is what he has clearly decided about Syria." – Charles Moore Daily Telegraph

WHO publishes ICD-11 – and no end in sight for pathologisation of intersex people
June 19, 2018 by Editorial
Find a Spanish version here.
On June 18 2018, the World Health Organization published the new International Classification of Diseases in its 11th version, which will be presented for final approval to the World Health Assembly in 2019. It is the first time since 1992 that the ICD has been reviewed. On positive note trans identities where finally removed from the mental health chapter. However, despite intersex experts working with WHO in the process, people with variations of sex characteristics are being pathologized and called disordered.
"OII Europe welcomes the positives changes that the ICD-11 makes in regards to trans people. Removing trans identities from the mental health chapter is an important and overdue step", says Dan Christian Ghattas, Executive Director of OII Europe "however we are very concerned that WHO has let the chance pass to depathologise intersex people and hence to work towards decreasing human rights violations intersex people face in medical settings."
Since 2009 the United Nations Human Rights Treaty Bodies have called on UN Member States to stop human rights violations intersex people face in society and in medical settings more than 30 times. In 2017 the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) issued the resolution "Promoting the human rights of and eliminating discrimination against intersex people", calling the Member States to end pathologisation and harmful medical treatment, including surgeries and other medical treatment.
Still, many intersex infants and children but also intersex adolescents and adults are subjected to invasive and irreversible surgeries and other medical treatments on the basis of having a so-called 'malformation' or 'disorder'. In most cases, these interventions are not wished for by the intersex person themselves and in case of infants and children, most of them are deferrable until the person could make an informed decision.
"We are speechless that WHO seems not to take into account international human rights bodies' position and not even their own opinion", says Miriam van der Have, Co-Chair of OII Europe, "WHO has stated in two majors publications that so-called sex normalizing procedures are often undertaken to make intersex infants and children conform to gendered physical norms. Diagnosing a person with a variation of sex characteristics as 'malformed' or 'disordered' feeds immensely into this malpractice."
And Loé Petit, Steering Board Member of OII Europe, adds: "Unwanted genital surgery on intersex individuals has been referred to as intersex genital mutilation (IGM). It is telling that we find no mentioning of health problems that IGM survivors face as a result of these interventions in the ICD-11."
"But it does not end there", points out Kitty Anderson, Co-Chair of OII Europe. "The ICD-11 establishes a new diagnosis, called 'Gender incongruence of childhood', which has been strongly opposed by trans and intersex experts alike. In 2015 a group of intersex experts already pointed towards the fact that this diagnoses has no medical utility and carries the risk of promoting stigma and discrimination. For intersex children 'normalizing' procedures are frequently justified by the 'imperative' of creating bodily congruence – for example, by removing 'incongruent' organs or making them 'congruent' with stereotypical male and female anatomies. We are very concerned about the practices that may evolve on the basis of this diagnose."
And Irene Kuzemko, OII Europe's secretary, continues: "In addition to an ongoing pathologisaton of intersex people/ people with variations of sex characteristics the ICD-11 includes the term "Disorder of Sex Development" (DSD) that has been opposed as stigmatizing and harmful by intersex people since it was established by medical professionals in 2006."
WHO had been repeatedly made aware by intersex experts of the human rights violations intersex people face on the basis of medical pathologisation. The announcement does not mark the end of the ICD-11 process. In the following 12 months WHO will focus on implementation and assessment at the country level. In May 2019 the new ICD version will be presented for final approval at World Health Assembly. OII Europe will continue to strongly advocate for intersex people's human rights and depathologisation of intersex variations together with the international intersex movement.
Who are intersex people/ people with variations of sex characteristics
Intersex is an umbrella term for the experience of being born with a body that does not meet the societal expectation of male or female. We are individuals born with sex characteristics that are either female and male at the same time or not quite female or male or neither female or male. Our sex characteristics and bodies are healthy variations of the human sexes.
What is OII Europe
OII Europe is the umbrella organisation of European human rights based intersex organisations, working on the promotion of self-awareness, visibility, and recognition of intersex people in Europe and worldwide. OII Europe was founded on Human Rights Day, 10 December, during the Second Intersex Forum at Stockholm in 2012 and is a registered charitable NGO since 2016.

Ardulum: First Don by J. S. Fields is the first entry in the "Ardulum"-series. Though I must say that I'm in general not a big reader of sci-fi, the plot for this caught my interest and in the end found myself rather enjoying this novel.
It is not difficult to see that quite a lot of work and thought went into world building here. The book features a wide diversity of different alien races all with their own very unique customs and habits, a well-thought-out system of political structures and quite creative but in the context of the story plausible technologies.
The characters and their plights easily grab your attention right away as well. For one there is Neek who is the only exile from her home planet in the entire galaxy. Torn between the wish to see her family again and the rejection of her government's policies, her internal struggle becomes even worse when she comes face to face with living proof that there might be some truth to those myths she has been fighting against after all. Still, you get the feeling that despite her conflicts, she still holds on to a certain kindness and compassion that motivates her to protect an innocent child despite the ramifications for her own position and believes.
And then there is Emn, a slave girl who has been put through a lot of pain and trauma. I was rather intrigued by following events from her point of view and how she sees the world around her. The bond that forms between Neek and Emn feels very natural and real in my opinion. I especially loved their telepathic communications which at first consisted mainly of mental images before including words as well. Characters' relationships in general were portrayed in a rather organic, relatable way. I also liked Neek's interactions with others like her captain or her uncle.
The author really took the job of presenting different species on their own terms very seriously. For example, she uses unique pronouns when talking from the perspective of a certain species. Though it took some getting used to in the beginning, it soon wasn't a problem anymore and it served to give the character a more distinct voice.
I would definitely recommend this series to fans of sci-fi and just anyone who enjoys a good read filled with issues of race and religion, political confrontations and some well-developed characters. If you are only looking for some hot and fast f/f-action though, this might not be for you. It takes quite a bit for the romance to pick up but what you get instead is well-worth it in my eyes.
The cover art by Natasha Snow is very beautiful. I especially like the colour composition and how the woman harmonizes lovely with the planets and stars.
