Great part of the story : especially the reasoning between Traz and Adam on the justification to hunt the Dirdir when they hunt Humans. Interesting how Adam set it up, most thrilling part:
SPOILER :
Spoiler
was the run back: you can indeed imagine the thick veins caused by pumping blood.
Amazing that the dirdir respect the 'rules' and let them go , while they later pick up everybody for that city who was connected somehow
: To me, the most terrible of all enemies were the Dirdir. Vance explodes with vigour and extreme suspense in this book. "Dirdir! They hunt!" cried Traz. They hunt men, thats what they do, for sport and for food. I suppose its a primal fear of man-eaters that Vance pulls out of the reader.
: I still shudder thinking about when Reith, Anacho and Traz Onmale fled from the Dirdir hunting party...their desperation, haste and fear was palpable.
