The Darkest Road (1986)
“It had been going on for most of yesterday, from the time they sailed from Cader Sedat, and had continued for much of this second morning and into the afternoon. The sun was behind them now.

Almost every man on Prydwen had spent some time watching him, either covertly or, as Paul was, with open admiration. H...e had finally begun to pick out some of the disciplined patterns in what Lancelot was doing. And as he watched it go on and on, Paul understood something else.
