Barbara McMahon and 1 other person liked Shari's review of Pheno's Treachery (Tankborn Liberation, #2): "A denking good sci-fi! There are many invented words in Pheno's story. It was easy to understand these creative new words in context. A glossary is included. Enjoyed the writing, plot and pace. Also the friendships and aaaah the seycats! Loved Seven."
