It takes courage to offer anonymous readers-who-can-fling-back-deceptive-comments your work, SpectralJulianIsNotDead.
I didn't find the description of the Tau Ceti race that necessary (or it could have been a note not to affect the rhythm in the passage) but that's just my problem & it ain't what struck me the most.
I found the first passage with Ryp to be really well written, making this character from that moment on someone I'd pay attention to.
Slave trading's a good topic too.
