Don't read the book if you expect a happy ending, because this isn't one of those.  ]]></body>

I wish I had his demeanor and ability to think things through before acting when under great pressure.  He was a master politician and had a tremendous skill of influences those around him.

It takes a hard look at sexual relationships between humans with many examples of other species from a biological point of view.
