Details
10
17 41 "Tell me why you have been brought to the Nest," said Sarm, and suddenly his antennae snapped downward towards me like whips, and now rigid, they seemed to be trained on me, as though they might be weapons.

17 124 Suddenly one of the cubes we passed locked onto a given scene and no more did the scenery move past me as though in a three-dimensional screen.

20 31 "Look, Tarl Cabot," said Mul-Al-Ka suddenly, "we want to show you something".

10
23 59 I found I did not even have to stop and search for the small signs I had scratched in the walls of the passages to guide my way for as I ran it seemed I knew each bend and turn of that passageway as though it had suddenly leaped alive flaming in my memory.
Details
10
24 18 More likely the smell of the torch's oxidation products suddenly permeating its delicate antennae would have been as cacophonous to it as some protracted, discordant bedlam of noises might have been to us.

10
24 54 How horrible I thought it would be to be trapped in these tunnels, waiting for the Beetle, able to avoid it perhaps for hours, perhaps days, but not daring to sleep or to stop, not knowing if one were going down a blind passage, if the Beetle were suddenly to confront one at the next turn.
Details

25 33 The Mul-Torch suddenly sputtered out, leaving us in darkness.

25 138 Now that Vika was recovering I suddenly became aware of the difficulties that might ensue.

Details
10
26 94 Suddenly she fell on her knees, her eyes filled with tears, and extended her hands to me.

26 226 With a cry she leaped to her feet and threw herself against the door, her face suddenly wild with tears, and pounded on it madly with her small fists.

10
27 154 Suddenly Sarm charged at Misk and slashed down at him with one of those bladelike projections on his forelegs and leaped away even before I saw the green-filled wound opening on the left side of one of those great, compound luminous disks on Misk's head.
Details
10
27 167 Once again Sarm leaped in, his bladed projection lifted to strike, but this time Misk suddenly straightened himself promptly on the leg which had seemed to fail him and whipped his antennae back behind his head an instant before the stroke of Sarm's blade and when Sarm struck he found his appendage ...
Details
10
27 170 Then, with a force that might have been that of clashing, golden glaciers, Misk's jaws tightened and turned and suddenly Sarm was thrown to his back beneath him and in the instant Sarm struck the floor Misk's jaws had slipped their grip to the thick tube about which hung the string of Tola's silveri...

10
27 255 Suddenly with a vicious, almost incalculable speed Sarm's right bladed projection flashed toward my head.

10
27 362 Then before my horrified eyes the carcass of that ancient she began to shiver and tremble and I stood back as she struggled to my amazement to her feet and reared herself to the height of a Priest-King, her antennae extended to their very lengths as though grasping, clutching, trying to sense someth...

10
27 363 And from a thousand translators rang the message she cried out over those golden heads to the blank stone ceiling and walls of her chamber and I shall never forget it as it was in all the sorrow and the joy of her trembling dying magnificence; I and all could read it in the attitude of her body, the...

10
28 14 As I waited, the tunnel and, as I later learned, the entire complex, were suddenly plunged into darkness.
Details
10
28 18 And as I waited on the still disk in the darkness, my weapon ready, I suddenly saw far down the tunnel the sudden blue flash of an opened Mul-Torch and then its steady blaze, and then I saw another flash and blaze and another and to my amazement it seemed that these fires hung from the very ceiling ...
Details
10
28 176 It unnerved the Priest-Kings to pass unknowingly within feet of, say, a pale, agile fellow from the Fungus Chambers, who might be crouching in a nearby ventilator shaft with a heat torch, who might have burned their antennae for them if he had pleased; or to suddenly find themselves surrounded by a ...

29 51 The other eight craft suddenly stopped their destructive work and seemed to hover in indecision.

10
29 73 Suddenly the ship beneath me seemed to quiver and then it blurred and disappeared.
Details
10
29 116 Then without warning it seemed the stern of my craft vanished and I felt the deck suddenly give way and as half of the craft vanished in powder and the other half crumbled to the buildings below I seized the silver tube from the firing port and leaped downward to the back of the enemy ship.
Details
10
29 123 I wrenched the hatch open and it swung wildly out from its locked side and suddenly I hung there, one hand on the rim, one hand on the silver tube, as the ship lay on its side in the air.
Details
10
29 134 I seized the sword which I had never ceased to wear and uttering the war cry of Ko-ro-ba rushed forward but as I did so I suddenly threw myself to the ground beneath those extended projections and slashed away at the Priest-King's posterior appendages.
Details
10
29 165 Suddenly I heard a voice, a mechanically transmitted voice.
Details
10
30 15 I felt suddenly sick and helpless.
Details
10
30 88 My first knowledge of this came one morning when suddenly I awakened in my chains to the fierce bite of a leather lash.
Details
10
31 98 We were considering these matters when suddenly the entire floor of the compartment in which we sat seemed to buckle and break apart.
Details
10
31 137 Then suddenly he wheeled and saw me and seemed startled but then the silver tube flew up and I threw myself rolling back down the walkway, the steel stairs bubbling away following me.
Details
10
31 189 Rather to my wonder the bar of steel lowered and Sarm seemed frozen suddenly in an attitude of the most rapt perception.
Details
10
31 191 His limbs seemed suddenly weak.
Details
10
31 213 Then to my amazement when the Beetle neared Sarm the Priest-King sank down on his supporting appendages, almost as if he were on his knees, and suddenly plunged his face and antennae into the midst of the waving mane hair of the Golden Beetle.
Details
10
32 44 It sprang into my mind suddenly why they needed men, how dependent they were upon us.

32 159 Suddenly, through the rock dust, I could scent that strange narcotic odor.

33 76 A wild, glad shout broke from the throats of the assembled multitude as the men suddenly began to understand that their world was returning to its normal order.
Details
10
33 89 At that moment I suddenly realized I was ringed by Initiates.
Details
10
33 111 Suddenly I was very sad, and I wondered what would be the fate of humans from the Nest, if they should attempt to return to their cities or the world above.
Details
10
33 133 Suddenly I did not feel him as an enemy any longer and I sensed that somehow he did not regard me either as a threat or foe.

10
35 72 Suddenly Misk was frozen in the attitude of utter attention, the antennae lifted, each sensory hair alive on his golden body.

7 110 Elizabeth had looked, tears almost in her eyes, at the department head, but he seemed suddenly to her soft, pudgy, distant, sweating, nothing.
Details
10
7 117 Looking at him she suddenly had the feeling, a strange one, that this man, in some circumstances and for some purpose or another, had assessed and judged many women.
Details
10
7 160 I was suddenly amused, for it occurred to me that neither of the Tuchuks could read.
Details
10
7 231 Then uncontrollably, piteously, suddenly, trembling in the Sirik, she put her head down to the pelt of the larl.
Details
10
8 73 The rider who had made the unsatisfactory thrust suddenly whirled the kaiila toward the girl, and she fell to her knees, realizing she should not have revealed her pleasure at his failure, putting her head to the grass.
Details
10
8 175 * * * * Now the Kassar, mounted on his kaiila, his lance under the tip of the girl's chin, who knelt before him, looking up at him, suddenly laughed and removed the lance.
Details
10
8 503 The crowd was silent, then, suddenly, as unexpectedly as a clap of thunder, they began to roar and cheer.
Details
10
8 610 It was with a kind of shock that I suddenly realized that she, and Dina of Turia, now belonged to Kamchak and myself.
Details
10
9 100 Suddenly I became aware again of the banquet of Saphrar of Turia.
Details
10
9 152 It seemed suddenly I was shocked awake and sober.
Details
10
9 167 As the woman approached I suddenly became aware again of Saphrar speaking.
Details
10
9 479 It then occurred to me, suddenly, that, following Gorean civic law, the properties and titles, assets and goods of a given individual who is reduced to slavery are automatically regarded as having been transferred to the nearest male relative—or nearest relative if no adult male relative is a...
Details
10
10 52 Suddenly she began to shake with sobs and fell to her knees at the paws of the kaiila, the gold piece in her left hand.
Details
10
10 66 "No," she said, "no!" I lifted her to her feet and she suddenly kissed me.
Details
10
10 86 Then suddenly her eyes clouded and her face was transformed with distress.
Details
10
10 114 Elizabeth's face suddenly seemed terrified.
Details
10
10 238 Elizabeth Cardwell's knees seemed suddenly weak but she staggered back to us.
Details
10
10 369 I suddenly glimpsed the face of Aphris of Turia contort with rage and she tried to free herself.
Details
10
10 405 It would indeed be unpleasant if one suddenly, unexpectedly, found oneself facing a superb, famed warrior, say, a Kamras of Turia.
Details
10
10 527 Suddenly the eyes of Kamchak gleamed.
Details
10
10 544 Kamchak turned to see what I had in mind and to his great good fortune, as he did so, the sun flashed from the blade into the eyes of Kamras, who suddenly threw his arm up, blinking and shaking his head, for the instant blinded.
Details
10
11 14 Kamchak suddenly cuffed Aphris of Turia.
Details
10
11 26 Aphris suddenly pulled at the retaining rings, trying to rush to him, now oblivious of the riches of her beauty revealed even to the slaves who carried his palanquin.
Details
10
11 47 Aphris suddenly looked at him, dumbfounded.
Details
10
11 120 "What were you?" Then he turned his kaiila suddenly toward them and they would break and run screaming and laughing and then, like a flock of birds, take up once more the pursuit.
Details
10
11 156 She suddenly straightened indignantly and cried out.
Details
10
11 221 She looked up suddenly, her eyes bright with tears.
Details
10
11 357 Suddenly Elizabeth Cardwell said, perhaps unwisely, "You are cruel".
Details
10
12 61 "Ow!" cried Elizabeth as Aphris' comb apparently suddenly caught in a snarl in her hair.
Details
10
12 273 Suddenly Elizabeth was kneeling terribly straight, looking ahead, breathing very quickly.
Details
10
12 279 Her eyes suddenly met mine, timid, frightened.
Details
10
12 293 She looked up, her eyes suddenly moist.
Details
10
12 309 I held her by the shoulders and suddenly she turned herself in my hands and, as I was sitting cross-legged, threw herself on her back across my lap, her right wrist still chained to her left ankle.
Details
10
12 352 "Do you want to buy her?" suddenly asked Kamchak.
Details
10
12 414 Then with a suddenness that almost made me jump and the crowd cry out with delight the music began again but this time as a barbaric cry of rebellion and rage and the wench from Port Kar was suddenly a chained she-larl biting and tearing at the chain and she had cast her black robes from her and sto...
Details
10
12 427 Aphris suddenly put her head to his thigh, looking down.
Details
10
12 442 "Why not?" Then suddenly she jerked at the hobble but could not rise and nearly fell, and pounded her left fist into the dirt before her.
Details
10
12 487 She looked into my eyes for a long moment and then suddenly dropped her head weeping.
Details
10
12 504 I was only about a quarter of the way through the bottle and was passing the side of a wagon when I saw a swift flicker of a shadow suddenly leap on the lacquered boards and by instinct I threw my head to one side as a quiva flashed past and buried itself three inches deep in the timber side of the ...
Details
10
13 16 Before I could remonstrate with the angry Tuchuk the hunting sleen suddenly seemed to go wild, rearing on their hind legs, scratching in the air, dragging against the chains.
Details
10
13 83 Elizabeth suddenly cried out throwing her head to one side.
Details
10
13 118 At one point, he wrapped a heavy fur and leather robe about his left arm and struck the beast suddenly on the snout with his right hand.
Details
10
13 154 Each of the four haruspexes then, after intoning an involved entreaty of some sort to the sky, which at the time was shining beneficently, suddenly cast a handful of something—doubtless grain—to the pigeons in the stick cage.
Details
10
13 230 Suddenly Kamchak lifted his hand, alert, gesturing for silence.
Details
10
13 232 Suddenly they were not moving.
Details
10
14 37 Suddenly, instead of giving pursuit, Kamchak drew his mount to a halt and behind him the rushing cavalries of the Tuchuks snarled pawing to a halt, holding their ground.
Details
10
14 106 Suddenly tears seemed to burst from Kamchak's eyes and his fists were clenched.
Details
10
14 110 Suddenly Kamchak cried out in rage and seized up the golden kanda box and hurled it away.
Details
10
15 81 Also, perhaps for no reason better than his suddenly found hatred for Aphris of Turia, he seemed in no hurry to free the girls from their confinement.
Details
10
16 177 I glanced, however, at Harold, and it seemed he had suddenly paled.
Details
10
16 220 "Also," I cried, suddenly aware, "the rence paper in the message collar, paper from Port Kar!" "Of course," he said.
Details
10
18 2 I cried out suddenly in alarm horrified at my predicament and struggled to turn back and wade to the edge of the marbled basin that was the cage of the thing in which I was, but the fluid, tightening about me, now seemed to have the consistency of a rich yellow, hot mud and then, by the time I had r...
Details
10
18 20 "Beware!" cried the Paravaci and Saphrar suddenly stopped laughing and observed me warily.
Details
10
18 44 Then suddenly, the yellow, encircling cementlike substance had oozed from my limbs and I could take two or three free steps.
Details
10
18 68 Crowded about my body now were entangling filaments and spheres trying, like hands and teeth, to tear me from my work, but I struck and tore again and again and then entered the secret world beneath the membrane slashing to the left and right and suddenly the fluid began to loosen and withdraw above...
Details
10
18 69 Now below me the fluid began to gel swiftly almost like a rising floor and it loosened and withdrew on all sides and suddenly my head broke the surface and I breathed.
Details
10
18 73 "Kill him!" I heard Saphrar cry, and there was suddenly the hiss of a crossbow quarrel which streaked past me and shattered on the curving wall behind me.
Details
10
18 78 Then suddenly I heard his agonized cry and saw that beneath me, once again, there glistened the yellow fluids of the pool, moving about him, for the thing—perhaps thermotropic—had again, as rapidly as it had hardened, liquefied and swirled about him, the luminescent spheres and filamen...
Details
10
19 21 Suddenly there seemed to me a real possibility in Harold's plan.
Details
10
20 51 Harold's arm flashed past me and the fellow stood suddenly still, then his knees gave slowly way beneath him and he fell to the flooring of the porch, a quiva hilt protruding from his chest, the crossbow clattering beside him.
Details
10
20 59 A quarrel from one of the crossbowmen on the roof suddenly shattered through the sticks of the bridge at my feet, splintering them not six inches from where I stood.
Details
10
20 73 Then there was a horrified cry as one rope was cut and the flooring of the bridge suddenly pitched, throwing several of the guardsmen to the ground below.
Details
10
21 230 Suddenly I wheeled and gripped the parapet.
Details
10
21 243 Suddenly she looked out over the parapet.
Details
10
21 271 "Tuchuks!" The guards suddenly looked about themselves startled.
Details
10
21 275 Suddenly understanding, the officer cried out in rage and whipped his sword from his sheath but before he could raise his arm the young man had leaped to him and thrust a quiva into his heart.
Details
10
21 309 Suddenly I saw the faces of the men fighting me turn from rage to fear.
Details
10
22 87 "Marvelous! A fighter!" Suddenly Dina stopped pulling and kicking and scratching.
Details
10
23 62 These two hundred, afoot, suddenly looking up with their quivas and axes, startled, screaming, were ridden down in a matter of an Ehn.
Details
10
23 76 Thousands of animals were already turned toward the approaching enemy and beginning to walk toward them when the Paravaci suddenly realized what was happening.
Details
10
23 144 Suddenly rising over the crest of rolling hills, like black floods, from both the left and the right, I saw on racing kaiila what must have been thousands of warriors, thousands upon thousands.
Details
10
23 149 And I looked and saw suddenly and my heart stopped beating and then I uttered a wild cry for from the left, riding with the Thousands sweeping over the hills, I saw the standard of the Yellow Bow, and on the right, flying forward with the hurtling Thousands, its leather streaming behind its pole, I ...

10
25 2 Within, a girl, across the wagon, beyond the tiny fire bowl in the center of its floor, standing on the thick rug, near a hanging tharlarion-oil lamp, turned suddenly to face me.
Details
10
25 24 "I have not yet seen him!" Suddenly I felt like shaking, but did not move, nor betray emotion.
Details
10
25 339 Suddenly I thought I understood Kamchak! He had indeed been fond of the girl! "Elizabeth," I said.
Details
10
25 450 Suddenly she drew back in fury and struck me with the flat of her hand, a vicious slap, and then again and again, and again.
Details
10
25 460 And then, as I knew she would, she suddenly knelt before me, in fury, head down, arms extended, wrists crossed, submitting as a Gorean female.
Details
10
25 537 Then, suddenly, playfully, she put her head to the rug before me.
Details
10
25 546 "No!" she cried, suddenly frightened.
Details
10
25 560 Suddenly she kissed me, a deep kiss, moist, rich, too soon ended.
Details
10
25 586 The blaze of a challenge flared suddenly in her eyes.
Details
10
25 755 "A true man," she cried out suddenly, "would not behave so! No! A true man is gentle, kind, tender, respectful, at all times, sweet and solicitous! That is a true man!" I smiled at her defenses, so classical, so typical of the modern, unhappy, civilized female, desperately frightened of being truly ...
Details
10
25 763 Then, as I had expected, she suddenly wept, and doubtless with great sincerity.
Details
10
25 800 She cried out suddenly as she found herself fully mine.
Details
10
25 806 In her kiss I tasted blood, suddenly realizing that she had bitten me.
Details
10
25 823 Then, suddenly, as though startled, she would not move.
Details
10
25 844 She did not move, and then suddenly I felt the cut of her nails deep in my arms, and though her lips were open, her teeth were clenched, her head was back, the eyes closed, her hair tangled under her and over her body, and then her eyes seemed surprised, startled, and her shoulders lifted a bit from...
Details
10
26 46 The men held their fire, and the tarn, almost at the center of the compound, as far from our encircling positions as possible, suddenly plummeted downward, its wings high, opening them only at the last minute to land on the top of the keep, beyond accurate crossbow range.
Details
10
26 105 Behind them I was startled to see suddenly a scurrying figure in white and gold, Saphrar of Turia.
Details
10
26 151 Four spears, with bronze heads, suddenly burst across the passage, emerging from circular openings, their tips striking into other small openings across the passage.
Details
10
26 230 Ha-Keel looked up, suddenly, seeming to forget his sword and its oiling.
Details
10
26 278 The Paravaci suddenly cried out in uncanny fear and shuddered and, to my horror, the golden sphere, which he had succeeded in wresting from Saphrar, was thrown a dozen feet across the room, and shattered on the floor.
Details
10
26 332 Suddenly, far off, we heard a weird scream, high, wavering, and the shrill howls of frustrated sleen.
Details
10
26 343 The fat hands with the scarlet fingernails seemed suddenly to be drawn and thin, clutching.
Details
10
26 374 Suddenly like an explosion and conflagration the pool erupted into flames and Kamchak and I and Harold and the others shielded our faces and eyes and withdrew before the fury of the fire.
Details
10
26 552 Kamchak glared at Harold, and then at me, and then he looked down, scratching his ear; then he looked at us again, and all three of us suddenly burst together into laughter, and tears even streamed down Kamchak's face, running here and there amongst the scarred furrows on his cheeks.
Details
10
26 560 Again we laughed and, suddenly, we urged the kaiila forward in great bounding strides, eager to reach the wagons, each of us, for waiting in these wagons were three girls, desirable, marvelous, ours, Hereena, she who had been of the First Wagon, the slave of Harold, her master; Aphris of Turia, almo...
Details
10
27 48 Was it only because Kamchak believed, as he had once said, that the Wagon Peoples must have an enemy? —or was there some other reason, beyond that? Suddenly there was commotion at the door and three men, followed by some others, burst into the hall.

5 131 With a flourish I unrolled the furs, spilling Elizabeth out, who shrieked and began to crawl away, but my hand caught at the loop on the left shoulder of her garment and she turned suddenly, trying to sit up, her feet tangled in the garment and I kicked it away and took her in my arms.

10
11 297 "To suddenly understand that you are a natural slave?" "Please," said Virginia.

11 343 Then suddenly she cried out and broke free and knelt in the back of the kennel, her face in her hands, weeping.

I looked down and was startled to see, some four tiers below, not seeing me, the pathetic, stubby, bulbous little body of Hup the Fool, limping and hopping about in the aisle, his large head on the fat little body lolling one way or another, the tongue occasionally, suddenly, unexpectedly...

13 325 Suddenly with a snap of its wings I could hear more than two hundred yards away the tarn exploded from the perch, Mip low on its back, and streaked toward the first "ring," the first of three huge metal rectangles, before the round "rings" mounted at the corners and at the end of the dividing wall.

19 123 Then the crowd stilled and the Musicians, too, were silent, as the energy lights in the amphitheater dimmed and went out, and another set of energy bulbs, to a pleased shout of the crowd, suddenly lit the block with a blaze of light.

10
19 155 Then taking the whip from the whip slave the auctioneer stepped to the disconsolate girl; suddenly, without warning, he administered to her the Slaver's caress, the whip caress, and her response was utterly, and uncontrollably, wild, helpless.

21 317 "How does it feel," he asked, "you who are about to die?" The laugh died in his throat for through his breast there suddenly flew a heavy Gorean arena spear.

10
21 383 Now those Taurentians left in the stands suddenly failed to restrain the crowds and thousands of citizens were leaping into the arena and others were swarming across the tiers toward the box of the Ubar.

22 181 I watched the dark, swift flight of the quarrel, like a black needle, and saw it drop into the back of the Taurentian, who suddenly stiffened, seeming inches taller, the metal fins of the bolt like a tiny dark triangle in the purple of the cloak, and pitched lifeless from the wall.
Details
10
22 197 Menicius of Port Kar streaked past and as he did so his right hand flew forward and I saw Mip suddenly lose the reins of the tarn and clutch spasmodically at his back, as though trying to reach something.

10
22 204 Suddenly Green Ubar, in the flash of the wings and the cries of the riders passing him, righted himself and with a cry of rage and pain burst toward the rings, Mip sagging in the saddle.
