A Thousand Words for Stranger

She finally meets up with Morgan, a space trader, and they try to escape. The Enforcers, the Clan, and various enemies are all in pursuit. Czerneda balances each chapter nicely between the opening sections, which are written in first-person from Sira's point of view, and the Interludes which generally close each chapter, which contain some story thread of the pursuers. After a number of adventures, Sira arrives at a showdown with the Clan Council and her own past.
