Missions
Haadri cycle — vol 1.5
Published reviews
In a Galaxy far, far away... though not so far it is impossible to empathise with its many multiform inhabitants, there are creatures so strange even the telepaths sent to negotiate with them can have trouble making contact.
Missions is essentially a series of short stories about Kazestrel and Triskayen, two Fohmatraans descended from cat-like, aquatic ancestors, and their diplomatic encounters with other species inhabiting the Galaxy of Haadri where life forms can be so weird no one knows about them until they are caught in the crossfire of someone else's war.
... being telepathic has its downside when encountering species with customs that would give a hardened eugenicist pause.

I read the stories with horror, amazement, and amusement... this is a great imaginative work... written with all the skill of a prolific writer... Yet again, Joules Taylor has produced a possible adult, cult classic.

I've just finished Missions and need to tell you how much more I enjoyed it. You've had the confidence to keep the integrity and complexity of the main characters and place them in episodes that flow along... Missions is an easy to read saga of an integral, and not too uncomfortably alien, galaxy and has a lightness of touch that doesn't interfere with the more serious undercurrents. Please keep writing more...
