"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)
