City north of San Francisco

Usage examples of novato.

Toroca was carrying the brass far-seer his mother, Novato, had given to his father, Afsan, the day after he had been conceived.

But now the government was devoted to the exodus, the project Novato herself was in charge of.

Oil lamp in hand, Novato began climbing the rickety stairs of the scaffolding.

Others, Novato knew, were likewise hacking away at the rock on top of the ship.

As she had countless times before, Novato squeezed through the half-closed door with her lamp, entering the vast ark, looking for a miracle to help save her people.

No matter how much time she spent inside the ark, it never ceased to make Novato uneasy.

He had never seen their children, never seen the vast spaceship Novato was now within, never seen the statue erected in his honor in Capital City.

It was even-night, anyway, the night upon which Novato usually did not sleep.

In the darkness, Novato pressed the side of her face against the wall.

By the time she was finished, Novato had outlined a rectangle going almost from floor to ceiling.

A tail of flexible clear strands stuck out of its back connecting it to the rear of its holding compartment, but as Novato pulled a little harder, the strands came loose.

Disappointed, Novato turned her attention to the two boxes still embedded in the wall.

It took several yanks, then suddenly the spike popped free, Novato flying away from the cliff like a rappeller.

It was just barely possible that the spike had been loose enough in its hole to allow the liquid blueness to trickle in and harden there, but in a flash of insight Novato realized that that was not what had happened at all.

Fascinated, Novato had them back off to five paces from the edge of the cliff.
