Both species have much to learn from one another, but the humans are slow to set aside their ingrained revulsion to the giant "bugs".

As someone who has read and enjoyed the Pip and Flinx books, it was interesting to see how the Commonwealth got together. I always had some interest in how Foster was going to justify some of his "universe", and the pre-Commonwealth books came up with pretty consistent answers. I never did see how insectoid beings could easily become Man's best friend, and this book delved into this.
