What is "jorn"

Usage examples of "jorn".

Jorn the Apostle would not have overlooked patrolling such an obvious rallying-point for the ousted, but presumably Jorn was somewhere at the other end of the Cloud with his main body.

New Earth and the seizure of the central government there had been an unplanned byproduct of the proclamation of which Jorn was unprepared to take full advantage.

Better to serve both ends, if it could be swung that way: to convince Jorn that the putsch had better be abandoned forthwith, but not so thoroughly as to alarm him into thinking he might lose part of his navy if he took his time about calling the putsch off.

It meant that the danger which Jorn the Apostle would have to be made to suspect would have to be as much ideological as it was military.

As a military commander of considerable proven ability, Jorn could not but be familiar with the corruption of an occupying force by the standards and customs of the nation that it occupies-and jihads and crusades were particularly subject to this kind of corrosion.

And, Amalfi thought suddenly, if Jorn were to turn out to be exactly as devout in his back-cluster superstitions as his public utterances suggested, pushing that button might well result in a genuine disaster.

City Fathers had called him the Mayor on the circuit, so Jorn had better be told at once that it was not Hazleton he was talking to.

Though Jorn had probably already seen through the improvision which had occurred to Amalfi-late enough so that he had been unable to betray that, too, to Jorn over the Dirac for the universe to hear-there was no other course open but to try to carry it through.

The alternative which Jorn had proposed actually came out to the same thing in the end: that of transforming a lie into the truth.

One of the defects of the program was the fact that it was, as Jorn had suspected, based on a lie, whereas a good deception ought to contain some fundamental stone of truth to stub the toes of the sane and the suspicious.

I am and stop Jorn the Apostle, which is as tough a problem as I care to tackle these days.

For a while during the odd, inconclusive struggle with Jorn the Apostle, he had felt something like himself, and the New Earthmen seemed to be acknowledging that the Amalfi who had been their mayor while they had been Okies was back in charge, as potent and necessary as ever.

In fact, Amalfi realized suddenly and with amazement, the fraud he had practised upon Jorn the Apostle had been no fraud at all, at least to this extent: that the New Earth-men were content with randomness, just as the Stochastics professed themselves to be, and had no interest in imposing purpose upon it or upon their own lives except as it was forced upon them from outside, either by someone like Jorn, or by someone like Amalfi in opposition to Jorn.

Jorn the Apostle something that Jorn had at first been far too intelligent to believe- nothing else but the fact, unsuspected by Amalfi at least, and possibly by Hazleton, that it was true.

Thus Clyde had dispatched no report concerning the partnership of Jorn and Dykel.
