The Loranth (Star Sojourner Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Al, how could you? I felt betrayed, though I knew better. I'd known the stakes all along, even if I hadn't admitted it to myself. What was it Jack had said? Unless you're just fooling yourself. Fuck him too. I stared out the window at a distant canyon which broke the late sun's color and left shattered light in deep rifts. I felt shattered myself, having just come out of the high plains' slow tempo, with its drowsy pulse of cold-blooded life, and found that time in humankind's world moved too quickly, had passed over me. It would have felt good to crawl under some dusty sunbaked ledge, forget the day and flow with the slow, primal beat of things. Hallarin looked up. I'd seen more human kindness in the frozen stare of fish under lake ice. The day wasn't over yet. “You're looking a little worse for wear, Rammis. How are things at your dinosaur clinic?” His voice had aged from gravel to cracked mortar. “Some things could be better, some worse.” He wiped beads of perspiration from his bare freckled forehead, his tin, gray-streaked hair.
