Book Seven
Parched
An amphibious people, put down on bare rock at noon.
The gate takes no interest in where it puts anybody. It opened over a dry mesa at noon and set down a people who dry out.
Saving them costs something real, and somebody stands up and says so. It is the first argument this city ever has about strangers.
Unsounded.
Book one is finished and free to listen to. The rest are on their way.
