In this prequel to her military sf series, "Theirs Not To Reason Why," Johnson explores the problems of "first contact" between two species who are both more or less human and must band together to fight an enemy bent on their mutual eradication. The center of the human to human conflict rests with two high-ranking officers from their respective cultures who have forged a little bit too close of a partnership for the comfort of either of their peoples.
