Triple Detente was written by Piers Anthony and published in 1974. Overpopulation is the topic of this book, and although the protagonists of three races learn to impersonate each other, speak to each other, fight each other, trade kids and raise 'em, and have wild alien shape-shifting perversion (this novels only saving grace) with each other, none of it means anything or goes anywhere as the solution to the crux of the problem of overpopulation is still genocide and euthanasia at 6 million lives a day. Plus towards the end they start using words like "rrwr," and "mngh;" I didn't like that sh*t when Ursula K. LeGuinn did it, and I certainly don't like it when Piers Anthony does it. Ugly goofy-ass cover, too. Take it away...
