Summary

Uhura's beauty causes a riot on shore leave.

Reactions and Reviews

Uhura, her lover Tai, McCoy and Tonia Barrows find themselves fleeing a mob after failing to interpret local gestures on shore leave. Witty writing, and a nice touch is that Howlett never does explain the mystery signals.[1]

Less clearly explained are the events in 'Afro-disiac' by Winston Howlett -- we never do find out why the natives of Breesia were so restless.[2]
