Line 9:
When The Peregrine docks at a space port, Trevelan snoops around ostentatiously<!-- He stealthily draws attention to himself? One of those words - "snoops" or "ostentatiously" - does not mean what you think it means. --> until Joachim orders him abducted [[He Knows Too Much|as a precaution]]. He uses this as an opportunity to ally with The Nomads. They follow up leads until they get to the planet of the Alori a native race devoted to their love of nature and fearful of technological society to the point of xenophobia. They are held captive with the hope that they will assimilate. Instead the Nomads revolt, recapture their ship and head home. In the meantime Trevelan has fallen in love with and married a Nomad woman and decides to resign from his job and stay with the Nomads.
First published as ''Star Ways'' later as ''The Peregrine.'' An online edition is available from Amazon as ''Star Ways''. Unfortunately the transmitting into E-format was badly done but it is worth the read even so. The book version is also available from Amazon as ''The Peregrine''

Line 33 ⟶ 34:
*[[Romanticism Versus Enlightenment]]: Trevelan represents extreme enlightenment. The Alori represent extreme romanticism. The Nomads are romantic in a different way but they also have enlightend characteristics.
**The Alori represent Edenic nature, Trevelan represents reason, the Nomads honor and both Trevelan and the Nomads represent discipline.
*[[Scenery Porn]]: There is a plentitude of beautiful descriptions along the way. Example's include the interior of the Peregrine, the Nomad's meeting hall at Rendevous and others. In general Anderson always likes laying that sort of thing on thick.
*[[Space Elves]]: The Alori. They are closest to [[Fair Folk]] in style but they are not inexplicable and their motivations are understandable to humans.
*[[Space Cold War]]: Except the humans don't know that a war is on yet or that the enemy exists.
