Stephen Merlino, who beta'd Trust and who is an excellent writer, put some excerpts from it up on his blog. They are from a scene told from the point of view of an alien who is using a translation device that, in Steve's words, "struggles to decode the expletives of the human space marines assigned to protect Trang." Now he's curious to know if other cultures are as fond of scatological and sex-based swears as English-speakers are, so if you know about that, go on over there and tell him!

And if you've read Trust and are going, Wait, the Giant Mankiller doesn't look like a T-Rex! know that Steve read an earlier version in which the Giant Mankiller wasn't described at all--he told me to fix that, so I did.
