I find the Yip characters to be some of the most powerfull evocations in the Cadwal chronicles. I love their attitude to the co-inhabitants of Cadwal - the 'woskers'.
Does anyone else enjoy re-reading any Yip dialogue they can find? (Zamien Lemew Gabriskies is my choice).
'Zamien spoke with great earnestness. "Truly, sir, it is wrong to make reports when one is not sure. An injustice might be done, and I would not want the weight upon my soul unless at least for a large sum of money."
BTW, Araminta Station, in my opinion, is the best of all Vance's books.
