Pilot Meraiah Blanchard awakens on an alien planet that looks oddly familiar. She soon realizes that, since she is a captive of the aliens her fellow humans are at war with, and since she is alive, these aliens want something from her. They probably want her to do something. She realizes that her training forbids helping these aliens. Yet, what if helping an alien means helping the human earthlings?What if a human didn't do what everyone knows a human will do?

Researched + documented history with a generous ladeling of mockery sauce to help choke down those annoyingly dry details. This is the sort of thing a high school teacher could shove at a clutch of students and get away with (since this project is a G-rated operation.) Easy-to-read, discete incidents in world history make it the ideal bathroom book . . . especially if you piss yourself laughing.

History happens, but that never means we must like it. We should know it happened, but then we should react appropriately: with laughter. After all, we can't change what was done before us (or to us), but we can laugh at the dead who did it. Enjoy mocking the greats.
