The Judas Rose: Native Tongue II (Native Tongue 2) ReviewA "sequel" to Native Tongue, the Judas Rose does not really follow very closely on the first book's theme, and worse, does not come to much of a conclusion. A lot of loose threads are left dangling, and don't look to the third book to pick them up again -- it's even worse.
This book also severely broke my suspension of disbelief. The basic premise is that aliens are so vastly superior to Earth civilization that mankind's self-esteem would be crushed if the general public found out how primitive and savage we are compared to other intelligent races. So crushed that our own civilization would fall apart. Umm.... huh? Yes, no doubt there would be consternation and panic if we learned that Earth was a pitiful backwater compared to alien civilizations, but it isn't as if humans have never had to deal with that concept before. Many primitive tribes were traumatized by contact with Europeans, but that was more because the Europeans were predatory colonists, rather than because the "barbarians" had their cultural self-esteem shattered by learning about gunpowder and machines and science and literature. The aliens in this book pity humans but have no desire to victimize them.
The whole idea of the public not being able to handle the truth seems based on Elgin's dominant theme -- that men are in charge, and men are almost universally strutting egotists whose fragile masculinity would be shattered if they learned they are NOT, in fact, masters of the universe.
Again, this is an interesting book, but I didn't take nearly as much away from it as I did from the first, and frankly, I found this book much more annoying.The Judas Rose: Native Tongue II (Native Tongue 2) OverviewAn instant cult classic, and groundbreaking forerunner to Margaret Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale. Native Tongue Trilogy revealed to its audiences a frightening future world where the women of Earth are once again property. In Volume II of the trilogy, the women have at last decided to spread the language using the Roman Catholic church. But when a handful of priests discover the plot, they move to stamp it out with their own female agent, Sister Miriam Rose. But Sister Miriam has plans of her own. . . .
