Poul Anderson, New America, "Passing The Love Of Women."
The
Rustumite lowlands have ceretheres, terasaurs and giant versions of
spearfowl and other species that are familiar on the colonized plateau
called High America. There are place names like Lake Moondance, Ahriman and Ironwood. (Scroll down.)
Dan
and Eva discuss a group of friends that are missing. Eva speaks but
breaks off as Dan stiffens. She has said something that gives him a clue
as to where the friends might have gone - in search of a herd of
terasaurs. Moments of realization punctuate Anderson's narrative like
his Pathetic Fallacies and descriptive passages appealing to at least
three of the senses.
I can guarantee to find something to post about just by rereading a page or two of an Anderson text.
