Soft cover. Condición: As New. Psyche: it used to mean the seat of intellect, but now refers only to a tiny asteroid housing the solar system's human garbage. When Antoinette Foucault's dream of motherhood circles the drain, an emotional outburst is expected, but not a revolution. Her official "Deviation" permits her to express otherwise-illegal discontent, but no one could predict it would be her key to an organization of misfits with designs on overthrowing the government. Can she save the innocent before warring revolutions destroy them all? Only if she can do more, be more , than REFUSE. In this irreverent, sarcastic novel, the heroine Antoinette conspires with freaks against an alien-run government bent on making all humans healthy by suppressing the expression of negative emotions. But Antoinette is an average person, with bad feelings and snarky comments and a predilection for toilet or bedroom humor. When the fate of the solar system is in her hands, she's on the jump, willing to make love to as many lesbian alien octopuses as she must. With the help of her transgender doctor and her counsellor husband, she'll either take down the Colony or kill everyone trying. But will it be enough? Will it be on time? Only if she can figure out exactly what she's rebelling against and be better than the human garbage her government takes her for, better than the average woman her society believes her to be, better than the hero revolutionaries expect.
