In Tritcheon Hash, women live on one planet, men on another. Unfortunately somebody, somewhere gets the insane idea that perhaps they should kiss and make up. But will women be safe with men and their violent natures? And more importantly, have they learned to clean up after themselves? "In this smart, entertaining sci-fi tale, conflict between men and women has reached interplanetary proportions. Against a vivid sci-fi backdrop, Lange brings a light touch to heavy material, with a fast-paced, funny story to boot." -- Kirkus Reviews
