Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Man to His Mate
His weight was made up of thews and sin ews, Spare and solid ?esh without an ounce of waste, upon a mighty skeleton. His face was heavy-bearded in hair of ?aming, curling red, from high cheek-bones down out of Sight below the soft loose collar of his shirt. The bridge of his glasses rested on the outcurve of a nose like the beak of an osprey, the ends of the wires looped about ears that lay close to the head, hairy about the inner - curves, lobeless, the tips suggesting the ear-tips of a satyr.
Mouth and jaw were hidden, but the beard could not deny the bold projection of the latter. About thirty, Rainey judged him. Buffeted by time and weather, but in the prime of his strength.
