The Germans were still hunting Alek, trying to finish the job they'd started on his parents. Someone had to be on his side. And, as Deryn had gradually admitted to herself these last few days, she didn't mind if that someone wound up being her.

In their infinite wisdom, the Admiralty approved Alek's medal for bravery in the air on the very same day the United States entered the war.

Without lesions making everyone agreeable, society was left roiling in a constant battle of words, images, and ideas. All around her Tally felt the city seething, all those unfettered minds bouncing their opinions off each other, like something ready to explode.

It's important to understand that the human brain is filled with meaningless chatter. Improperly trained or augmented, it jumps between reliving past humiliations and worrying over future hypotheticals. This can cause serious inadequacies when the need for decisive action arises in the present. There are, however, small evolutionary benefits to this chronological chaos.

But my panic was like a poisonous snake at a zoo, staring at me from the other side of thick glass. Only Yamaraj's touch on my arm kept the glass from shattering. His skin seemed to burn against mine."
