Okay, peeps! Here are the questions (courtesy of Jan) for this week. Enjoy! 
Chapter 17
What are your first impressions of Jodi? Father Hernandez?
Were you surprised at the way Reza first approached Jodi? Why do you think he singled her out over all of the others in Rutan at the time?
Now that we know why the Kreelans prefer hand-to-hand combat, do you find it surprising that the humans who have been fighting them for so long have never figured it out? Were you surprised at the way Reza fought and killed all of the Kreelans on Rutan?
Chapter 18
Were you surprised to learn that the Confederation was considering a "deep scan" of Reza that would have left him a vegetable? What would you have done with Reza at this point?
Chapter 19
Did you find it rather ironic that the villagers who were so against bloodshed were getting worked up enough to rush out of the town and take on the Marines who had protected them, just to get to Reza?
Which side would you have been on in Rutan, fighting with the Marines to try to defeat the Kreelans, or remaining the village, standing fast in your belief that war and bloodshed are not the answer?
Do you see any similarity between Father Hernandez' doubt in Reza's beliefs and the Empress' and Tesh-Dar's "experiment" to see whether humans had souls?
Why is it so hard for Jodi and Father Hernandez to believe that Reza is homesick for the place he lived for so many years?
Chapter 20
What do you think your first impression of Reza would have been, if you were Commodore Sinclaire?
What were your first thoughts when you realized that Nicole was Jodi's commander and the person that she loved?
Did you have any thoughts/ideas on what might happen when Reza and Nicole see each other again for the first time?
Chapter 22
What do you think of Reza's re-introduction into human civilization so far? Do you think he's being treated well, considering where he came from? What would you have done differently, if anything?
Chapter 23
Okay, who cheered when Reza knocked Thorella off the bridge?
Do you think the Ancient Ones are still watching over Reza? Do you think they have always been, and perhaps that's what Tesh Dar sensed in him?
