Finished "The War Against The Rull". The story was very conventional compared to other novels by van Vogt, but over all a good read. The title is something of a missrepresentation; while the novel is about a war, it doesn't portray any battles, like Heinlein's "Starship Troopers". It's more like a spy novel taking place in space. The message of co-operation between different races and cultures (including non-human, of course) is easier to digest than Heinlein's militarism, however.

"Conan, what's the meaning of life?" "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women!" -Conan the Barbarian
"Well, yeah." -Jason E. Perkins
