"Modesitt, L E - The Hammer of Darkness" - читать интересную книгу автора (Modesitt L E)"That's something the doctors need to discuss with you. I
will see what can be done. You're not scheduled yet." Martel frowns to himself. Not scheduled? Scheduled for what? Two months? From a stunner? Has he been here ever since Boreas stunned him? She drops a folder on the low table and scuttles for the por- tal. "If you read that, it will give the right perspective." She darts out. The door irises shut, and the amber light replaces the green, but the ceiling glow remains. Apollo had said that using paranorm powers was easy. Martel reaches for the folder with his thoughts and is still surprised when it floats up from the table into his hands. The folder is not what he expected.

Item: Paranorms arriving on Aurore are dangerous as flame, to themselves and to those around them. Item: Boreas has stunned him en route, under Brotherhood orders. Item: The Brotherhood definitely wants him on Aurore. Item: For two months he has been out of his mind. Item: While dreaming, he had literally crushed a heavy steel railing. Item: Apollo isn't afraid of Martel. Item: The woman is. Item: He is getting sleepy. Item: |
