Hi all,
I am trying to remember the name of a science fiction book I read in the late 80’s or early 90’s. Aliens have cut Earth off from the rest of the universe due to our violet ways. A renegade alien (I think named Wide) has come to Earth, disables our weapons, and takes special forces groups into space to fight against another group of aliens who have periods of “insanity” during their mating cycles where they steal resources from other aliens.
Any help is appreciated!
