“What Valland had radioed—good thing our gear included some portables!—suggested that attack by certain rivals of the Azkashi was not unthinkable. He hadn’t learned much about them yet, except that they belonged to quite a different culture and must have sent those canoes we’d spied at sunset. No doubt the Azkashi were prejudiced.
