The Judas Rose
In language lies power!
And on a future Earth where genetically bred linguists hold the key to the planet's economic survival because only they can serve as translators between human and alien traders, language has, indeed, become the way to power. But what this future Earth's male-dominated society does not yet realize us that ordinary women as well as linguists can wield this weapon of the mind.
And while mankind vies to claim its place in an alien-ruled universe, womankind strives in a unique battle back on Earth, spreading the knowledge of Laadan, the secret language of women. For in Laadan lies women's one hope for regaining their freedom – and for saving all humankind!
