Defiant  (an Ell Donsaii story #9)is another fine story in the Ell Donsaii universe.  In this episode, returning home after winning more gold medals at the latest Olympics, Ell is disturbed by a bill in Congress obviously aimed at her activities. Then, Ell clashes with the newly-elected President, a technophobe, over this issue of sharing part of her new 5-dimensional technology and allowing the government contact with interstellar systems.  Her premise is, 1) the port tech in question is too dangerous to release to anyone and 2) she doesn't trust the government experts with access to aliens.  Ell doesn't like to involve herself with politics, but she isn't getting a choice.  Pity the poor politicians when Ell turns her considerable talents in a new direction.I thoughly enjoy this series from Mr. Dahners and hope for a long run.  The books are shorter than most (in fact, this is the third shortest in the series), but they are released quite frequently.  And packed with ideas and thrills.  But I still suffer waiting for the next one to be released!  Great job!
