Page 43 of The Lazarus Effect


  “Oh, I have enough curiosity to accept that. You’ve showed us your Lazarus trick and I’m thankful I no longer have that old body’s pains.”

  “Is that not an improvement, then?”

  “You can’t improve me! I can only improve myself. You and Ship can stuff your miracles! That’s one of the real secrets of my language.”

  “A bit uncouth but understandable.”

  “That language was born on the planet where Lazarus lived and died and lived. My kind first learned to speak there! The original Lazarus knew my meaning. By all the gods, he knew!”

  When Vata awakened Duque and expressed her puzzlement to him, Duque laughed. “You see?” he shouted. “We care who forces our dreams onto us!”
