Sisterhood of Suns - Pallas Athena (Paperback)

More than a thousand years have passed since the deadly MARS plague claimed the life of the last human male, and the United Sisterhood of Suns is thriving. It occupies more than a hundred worlds and possesses the most advanced technology in the Far Arm. Psionics has harnessed the power of the mind and genetic engineering has redefined what it is to be humin. But an uneasy peace exists between Wominkind and its warlike neighbors, the Hriss. It is the mission of officers like Commander Lilith ben Jeni and her ship, the USSNS Pallas Athena, to protect her fellow womyn against aggressors, and enforce maritime law. And at home, inside the boundaries of the Sisterhood, intrigue and conspiracies brew, and even worse, the NeoMen, reintroduced into society by a dissident religious cult, may soon be allowed to serve in combat roles. As any sensible womin knows however, this is utter nonsense; men are too emotionally unstable to handle the rigors of war. Herstory has proven this conclusively.
