"The rumor ran that there was a way out of Hell, through tunnels. Of course the rumor could be false; all the heroes assembled for the journey knew that. What they didn't know was what dangers they might face once out of the city of New Hell - except that boredome wouldn't be one of them. " "After graduation, Cherryh taught Latin, Ancient Greek, the classics, and ancient history at John Marshall High School in the Oklahoma City public school system. While her job was teaching Latin, her passion was the history, religion, and culture of Rome and Ancient Greece. During the summers, she would conduct student tours of the ancient ruins in England, France, Spain, and Italy. In her spare time, she would write, using the mythology of Rome and Greece as plots for her stories of the future. Cherryh did not follow the professional path typical of science fiction writers at the time, which was to first publish short stories in science fiction and fantasy magazines and then progress to novels. In fact, Cherryh did not consider writing short stories until after she had several novels published.". Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
