"The savage looked up at the ceiling and gave up a furious scream. At first it sounded like wolves howling, but the scream turned into something even more frightening. It was an unnatural sound, full of disappointment and repressed dreams. It was not a human cry."
"A tale about ordinary people in somewhat familiar surroundings in a galaxy far, far away."
