Tritcheon Hash, the heroine of Sue Lange's book of the same name, is a woman any man would like - if there were any men around to like her! Tough, practical and just pretty enough, Tritcheon Hash lives in a world devoid of the male species. In fact, ever since the absolute separation of the sexes (women left earth many generations before and now live light-years from earth and men on the planet of Coney Island) women have had to live without their messier halves. Not that this proves to be a bad thing. In fact, women have prospered in a peaceful world of their own, developing peaceful technology far surpassing that of the men back on earth. No worries about the species dying off either. The women took enough sperm with them when they left to last for centuries, and swap out the boy babies for more sperm every year. Men, on the other hand, have mucked up Earth so badly that a perpetual sea of crud now encircles the globe, blotting out the sun, leaving them to fight their petty, and numerous, wars in artificial daylight.

But men are eventually missed, or pitied more likely, and the women of Coney Island secretly desire reconciliation with the violent, scheming and filthy denizens of Earth. First, though, they must determine if the men of Earth are ready for such a tryst. Someone must covertly return to Earth, gather information, and inform the powers that be as to what's happening on the long lost home planet. Are men and women ready to coexist again?

Enter Tritcheon Hash, space pilot extraordinare! Let the adventure begin!

Sue Lange handles this sharply satirical plot as deftly as Ms. Hash handles a stolen C-1 Fighter! There's enough keen wit here to keep the most avid reader of relationship self-help books rolling in the aisles - and enough plot action to keep men reading too! Well-planned and humorous, Tritcheon Hash is a surprisingly good first book - though readers should be made aware that the subject matter here is intended for mature audiences. But who could do justice to such a subject without covering all the bases?

In all, Sue Lange hits hard, plays rough, and charms - just like her unforgettable character, Tritcheon Hash. This reviewer eagerly awaits more from both of them.

From the back of the book:
Tritcheon Hash froze in place. She'd seen air, vacuum, wild strange planets during the course of her training. She'd lived at times in atmospheres devoid of oxygen, in acidic wastelands, in highly radioactive dustbowls. She'd been confronted by higher-brain functioning species that were as like humans as turds are like flowers . . . but nothing frightened her quite as much as the thought of meeting the parents of the most well-ordered collection of anything she'd encountered in her life.
