Extended description

Welcome Home, Janissary: a military SF short story taken from the anthology 'Further Conflicts' -- one of 13 in the anthology. (Don't buy this if you already have 'Further Conflicts')

"Did I speak inappropriately?" Poor One-Ear sounded worried, though who could really guess what an alien felt?
Escandala pictured the two meter high furry hexaped, good ear erect in concern, contorting his throat painfully to converse in human tongue.
"Your words are not inappropriate," she replied. "Merely inaccurate. I was fighting for my six-year-old boy, all right. Fighting to keep away from him. He frightens me."

When reinforcements replenish the depleted ranks of human slave soldiers, they bring with them a dangerous pride in Earth and dreams of mutiny against the unseen alien masters. But for Escandala, the unfolding nightmare is not war or mutiny, but her son. The aliens have altered him, driving them apart.

As for her son, he just wants to go home...
