JOILANI

JOILANI

"Her huge dark-lashed Joilani gaze implored him mutely; in her terror she forgot the warnings, and her small dove-gray face contorted in that rictus of anguish the Terrans called a 'smile'."

"She tore the jelmah off, exposing her wide-hipped, short-legged little gray form, with its double dugs and bulging pouch."

"Her short twin birth channels."

"Amid the boots and the shouting, her wrist glands leaked scarlet Joilani tears as she foresaw the slow and merciless death that would now be hers."
