Eyeball Vectors

In this sequel novella, Clement strands a mixed party of Cedars and Cephallonians somewhere with too little power to run their equipment and no way to call for help, turning a survival problem into an engineering one. True to Clement's hard-SF instincts, getting out alive depends less on heroics than on the crew working out, species by species, exactly what tools and senses they actually have left to use. It appears in Unnatural Diplomacy, the third Isaac's Universe anthology.
