The Lazarus Effect

Frank Herbert
Bill Ransom

1983




For Brian, Bruce and Penny. For all the years they tiptoed while their father
was writing.

Frank Herbert



For all those healers who ease our suffering; for people who feed people, then
ask them for virtue; for our friends -- gratitude and affection.

Bill Ransom




The Histories assert that a binary system cannot support life. But we found
life here on Pandora. Except for the kelp, it was antagonistic and deadly, but
still it was life. Ship's judgment is upon us now because we wiped out the kelp
and unbalanced this world. We few survivors are subject to the endless sea and
the terrible vagaries of the two suns. That we survive at all on our fragile
Clone-rafts is as much a curse as a victory. This is the time of madness.

-- Hali Ekel, the Journals


Duque smelled burning flesh and scorched hair. He sniffed, sniffed again, and
whined. His one good eye watered and pained him when he tried to knuckle it
open. His mother was out. Out was a word he could say, like hot and Ma. He
could not precisely identify the location and shape of out. He knew vaguely
that his quarters were on a Clone-raft anchored off a black stone pinnacle, all
that remained of Pandora's land surface.
