Description: Had Northwest Smith been able to
forsee the future, he would not
have shielded the frightened,
scarlet-clad girl from the wild
mob pursuing her through the
streets of Lakkdarol, Earth's
latest colony on Mars.
"Shambleau! Shambleau!" the crowd
cried with loathing and disgust,
but Smith drove them offand took
the exhausted girl to his
quarters. There was no hair upon
her face - neither brows nor
lashes, but what lay hidden
beneath the tight scarlet turban
bound around her head?
So begins one of the strangest,
and possibly the most famous, of
stories by C.L.Moore, one of
today's most talented writers in
the field of science-fiction.
