Muzzaf
was a Komarite, from one of the southern border cities along the Colonial
frontier; one of the strange new class of monetary risk-takers, men who
invested large sums in manufacture or trade yet were not really merchants or
moneylenders or artisans. It still
seemed a little unnatural to Raj, gaining wealth without inheriting or
plundering it.
