A Company Of Heroes Book Five: The Space Cadet - Plot & Excerpts
After all, there were hundreds of thousands of people living in the crowded warren of interlocking buildings and narrow streets that interlaced in such recomplicated patterns that two noted topologists had written highly-regarded papers on them. And who would ever notice one more ragged urchin among the uncounted thousands that infested the Transmoltus? No one, thought Judikha, though she was unfortunately quickly proven wrong.She had, with her usual cold-blooded practicality, formed a plan before she had even finished packing. By the time she reached the street she knew exactly what she intended to do. She realized that the authorities—especially those connected with the school, who had little real idea of how life actually operated in the Transmoltus—would no doubt expect her to immediately go into hiding, or, if were to flee the area that she would head for the City, for Blavek. It was their conceit that everyone wanted to go to Blavek eventually. It would never occur to them that a Transmoltan—least of all a threadbare, half-starved street Arab—would stand out among the proper inhabitants of the Capital like a herpes sore on the full red lips of a debutante.
