Excerpt: ...faces, most of them unshaven, and most with thick, shaggy eyebrows. Even in that air-cooled room their generally unwashed condition was noticeable. Hanlon knew instinctively he would make no friends among them. I only hope I make no enemies. Why was I, so drastically different from them, chosen as a guard?
