Has anyone else read Robert Silverberg's "The Face of the Waters"?
That's what I'm reading right now, and it's got a major non-human sapiont, the
"Gillies". Let me quote:
"When Gillies spoke it was by squeezing their arms inward against their sides,
compressing air through deep gill-shaped slits in their chests to produce
booming organ-like tones. ... " pg 31.
