| "He sees the shadow first: ten meters of sharp angles, thorns, blades... legs like steel pipes with a rosette ofscimitar blades at the knees and ankles. Then, through the pulse of hot light and black shadow, Hoyt sees the eyes. A hundred facets, a thousand...glowing red, a laser shone through twin rupies, above the collar of steel thorns and the quick silver chest reflecting flame and shadow..." (The Shrike) |  |
