If i could loan it out on knidle i'd be willing to loan it so everyone could get a chance to read it.

I just saw it over at Amazon.com. It definitely looks....interesting. Funny thing, I had a similar idea for a story I'm writing, except that the women each have different psionic talents in addition to their training that they use to deal with, how shall we say, unusual threats...

As you can guess my interests and writing tend to veer a bit more toward the weird.

I might check it out though. How many books are there about Athena Project, and do you have to read any of Thor's other novels to understand what's going on?
