The Copper Crown Quotes

“There were six ships out there now, fully visible to the scanners, and one of them was the biggest thing he had ever seen in his life. ... the central ship, the one they escorted-that was something else entirely. It looked like a golden dragon. An enormous sculptured head with open jaws, outstretched claws on stylized forelegs, swept-back wings and a curved forked tail; and it had to be ten miles long at the very least ... It was a statement of arrogant and ostentatious power, on a scale that Haruko could not quite grasp just yet. 'A military vessel like a work of art,' he thought numbly.”
