The Woman Who Would Be A Spy: A tale of Zhor, Part 2

Submitted by on

On the planet Zhor, as in most pre-modern societies, careers appealing to women can at first seem rather restricted. But in so complex a civilization as Zhor's, a capable woman -- if determined enough --may discover that some rather unique fields of endeavor lay open to her. Lady Caron thinks that she has found one that will suit her nicely.

This story is inspired by Ranbarth's novelette "The Lancer's Tale," available at Fictionmania.

For D, wherever he is. I hope he’s still writing.

And with thanks to Ken and Raena, who are richer in spirit than any of the characters I could ever hope to describe in this story.

--SEPARATOR--

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
