So this Captain Shirk had visited her own country, had he? (For Aqualaria was sometimes called the land of the Amazons by outsiders.)

The captain was clearly an inveterate liar, as Astra found the portrait that he painted of her country unrecognisable. She found the book hilarious. For example there was his claim that female soldiers wore only chain-mail bikinis and sandals.
