The type genus of the Hylidae; tree toads.
1Andros and Hyla were already picking their way down toward the sand.
2Did you see much of the Hyla when you were out there?
3Such a thing might have driven a lesser person mad, Hyla thought.
4Behind him, Andros and Hyla began to descend the slope, closing the gap.
5Seeing Vor's silhouette, Andros and Hyla scrambled like spiders up the rocky notch.
6Andros and Hyla reached the shield belt he had thrown away.
7Even Hyla could see that his attempt at a disarming smile was not convincing.
8As soon as Hyla killed Inulto, five of the desert men rushed forward, howling.
9Andros and Hyla both let go at the same time, as if by mutual decision.
10Behind them, Andros and Hyla reached the sand and burst forward, not seeming to tire.
11Now Hyla launched herself at him, and Vor fired the flare gun at her chest.
12But little Hyla, the tree-frog, was nothing daunted.
13But Hyla hesitated, sensing something, while Andros picked up the shield belt with a sour frown.
14In all that time, Andros and Hyla had nothing to do but think and stew and plan.
15Andros and Hyla were not concerned about the dozens of Freemen fighters who came to face them.
16The moment he moved, Hyla dismissively reached out and caught the young man's throat with one hand.
