A stark unhuman piece of flesh with a shark's hunger inside it." He leaned forward and took one of her hands as Lockwood whispered, "Christ, man, let's get out of here." The woman's fingers, dry and quivering, scratched against Dorn's palm. He felt them as a hot breath in his blood. "What's the matter, Warren?" he laughed, emptying a wine-glass. "I like this gal. She suits me. A devourer of men.
And twisting those bony fingers together he burst once more into that rattling, unhuman laughter which all the Three B's knew so well and dreaded as the dying dread the sight of the circling buzzard above. "Stop laughin'!" cried Mac Strann with sudden anger. "Damn you, stop laughin'!"
But if there were even a mental equal to men, no matter how unhuman such a creature might appear, if there were a really rational animal anywhere in the cosmos off of Earth, the result would be catastrophic.

He acted without malice and without scruple or remorse. His conduct exhibited a passionateless expediency which was dreadful because utterly unhuman. But he was a strong man a courageous, self-contained man, and I had been better pleased if it could have been ordained that some other hand than mine should let the axe fall."
"You are Io who was once a fair and happy maiden in distant Argos; and now, because of the tyrant Jupiter and his jealous queen, you are doomed to wander from land to land in that unhuman form.

Do you remember he used to say life was always ready to teach us things, but that some of us were so mortal slow we never learned till we died?"
