Ties Of Power (Trade Pact Universe) - Plot & Excerpts
I certainly didn’t want to go to Drapskii. But when the Drapsk announced with glee the Makmora’s arrival in their Home system, it was a little too late to worry about my plans or desires. And it was, I decided, as reasonable a destination as any. Much as I resisted the notion, the damage done to my body had been significant. If it hadn’t been for the Drapsk med—I turned the unproductive thought away. The pain was gone, I could feel my strength returning by the hour, and two hair-thin lines were all that remained of the incisions on my abdomen. I was ready to take advantage of any opportunity to find another ship and set forth on my true quest. There was, I realized, just one flaw. Any opportunity would depend on the intentions of the Drapsk. Drapskii was an unusual planet in many respects, not only in the behavior of its inhabitants. At least the Drapsk had been overjoyed to supply me with geographical information—if little else. There was no moon, and what free water existed spent most of its time in a series of deep cracks etched in parallel to its equator as if the world had been stretched from its poles by a playful god.
