"She's in shock,"
Gwyn Arthur said uncertainly.

   
But Neil Probert knew what the
pilot meant. He sank back, closed his eyes, the sweat cooling on his brow.

child had thrown a shadow ten times her size across the snow. A monstrous
shadow, with the illusion of small, hard wings flapping at its shoulders.
