Hi,
Several years ago, when i was in middle school, I read a science fiction novel that I found at my public library. I am now trying to find it again, but i cannot remember the title of it. I was hoping that if i put up a description of it someone would recognise it and let me know the title:
It was a trilogy centered around the war between two coalitions of alien races. One is "evil" and is lead by some sort of mind controlling reptile like race and goes around conquering other planets. The other the "good" guys try to intervene and protect weak races from being conquered. I only remember two races in this coalition, one is birdlike and is responsible for a lot of intelligence work, and the other one is wolflike in appearance, and traditionally fills the roll of shock troops in this struggle. The story moves forward with the "evil" coalition finding earth (roughly around our time) and attempting to conquer us. The good guys intervene, and eventually decide to enlist us in their coalition because humans have unique characteristics that would make them excellent for combat.We have really dense bodies and while we are smaller in stature than these other races, we are significantly more powerful. Also, human minds are consumed with raw/primitive violence and whenever one of the "bad" guys attempts to make contact with our minds, they are overwhelmed by our minds and die from the exertion.
Something like that,
if that sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know.
Am a first time poster, so sorry if i broke any rules.
