All in all, it was a reasonable read and any book that rips off Doctor Who can't be all bad :-) ( )
#Damned alan dean foster series
This book is a bit less preachy than the first book, concentrating on telling the tale rather than focusing on humanity's love of war but I'm not sure that civilisations as wimpy as the Weave species appear to be would have the ability to form an interstellar society, however unstable it may be, though I also doubt a species as hell bent on fighting as humanity seems to be in this series would survive long enough either. As the Weave and humanity grew apart, Lalelelang and a few other scholars expected war to come between the Weave and humanity but Lalelelang didn't expect to be part of the answer to keeping the peace. But would this do anything to ease the growing tensions between humans and their Weave allies? A problem that all thought could be put off until after the war was rapidly brought to the fore when the Amplitur surrendered when their home world was discovered by the Weave. It doesn't take much effort by a scholar as brilliant as Lalelelang to hypothesis the existence of a group of humans who had mental powers similar to their hated enemies. Surviving the mere presence of soldiers was a victory in itself was a miracle but even Lalelelang was surprised to by what she found there, from sneak attacks by Amplitur forces to a human that was able to rally a squad of panicking Weave soldiers with. The Wais scholar had steeled herself to follow up her studies on the disturbing humans to study them in their natural habitat on the battle front itself. ALl that remained was finding the home world of the Amplitur but even as this knowledge was being sought, the greatest threat to humanity's existence was in danger of being exposed by a most unlikely agent.
Humanity's contribution to the fight against the Amplitur has brought the Weave to the edge of victory. This is the final book in 'The Damned' series.
