Synopsis

Laadan --battle cry of revolution or a tool to unite human and alien? 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 is that ordinary women as well as linguists can wield this weapon of the mind.
