Thoughts from Marianne

            My name is
Marianne Woolsey, and I’m just an
Iowa farm girl turned high school teacher. I don’t have any family, though I
have a few friends – or I did until I left Earth eight years ago to go teach on
a planet circling Beta Hydri. So why does Central Command want me so badly?
            Yes, I did
sort of … thumb my nose at them. What can they expect? They tried to kidnap me! And I have been here eight years, so they probably think I know all sorts of things about the Tolari.
But that still doesn’t explain the lengths to which they’ve been going to get
me back. Threats, bribes, unexpected “guests.” The Sural is being remarkably
patient, but that might be because he considers his fellow rulers more
dangerous than Central Command. To him, Earth is more like an annoying cat. Get
it off the knickknack shelf before it knocks something down.
            It’s enough
to make a girl irritable, I can tell you that.
