And as we later found out Aycharaych ...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />And as we later found out Aycharaych was the very last of his race, that the Chereionites were EXTINCT.<br /><br />We also see Flandry and Aycharaych conversing in Chapter 1 of WE CLAIM THESE STARS. And his amusingly expressed skepticism of the faith placed by the Merseians in their computers estimate of when the Empire would fall. Naive and rather touching was how he put it!<br /><br />I agree Aycharaych was less crassly or crudely self serving than Blofeld, but he did have a personal stake of his owe as regards Chereion. He didn't want Merseia to ransack and devastate his race's heritage.<br /><br />Any nonhuman more than a thousands years from now who reads the poems of Elizabeth Barrett Browning would HAVE to be cultured!<br /><br />SeanSean M.
