The Demon Breed is a science fiction novel by James H. Schmitz, set in the Federation of the Hub. It was serialized in Analog in 1968 under the title "The Tuvela", and published in book form the same year. More recently it has been published as part of the omnibus The Hub: Dangerous Territory.The setting is a remote island on the ocean world of Nandy-Cline, where biologist Dr. Nile Etland is coming to make one of her periodic check-in visits to a research station run by her colleague and friend Dr. Ticos Cay. Something is wrong; when she attempts to radio that she's coming, nobody answers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The island has been secretly taken as an outpost by the alien Parahuans, who are planning to invade the Federation. Their first attempt, decades ago, resulted in them getting curb-stomped, so this time around Nandy-Cline has been selected as a test case, a chance for the pro-invasion Parahuans to prove that the humans aren't that tough. Some of the Parahuan leaders, unwilling to believe themselves inferior to humans, have postulated that the Federation has a secret caste of superhuman warriors; the captive Dr. Cay has been playing on that belief in an attempt to persuade them to abandon the invasion without a fight — or at least to make them worried enough not to kill the great Guardian Etland outright when she arrives.Thanks to Dr. Cay, Nile arrives on the island alive. What happens next depends on the sharpness of her wits — and her extensive knowledge of the island's exotic and dangerous ecosystem.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Awakening the Sleeping Giant: The aftermath of The Demon Breed has the alien leaders concluding that a) the Parahuans had almost done exactly this, and b) that the human authorities know this too. | |

Born Under the Sail: The sled-men of Nandy-Cline live on enormous rafts that sail the planet's oceans, and rarely if ever go to shore. It's mentioned that their ancestors were Space Nomads before they settled on the planet. | |

Bluffing the Advance Scout: The aliens suspect that humanity may be secretly protected by a caste of superhuman Guardians, and plan to invade the world of Nandy-Cline to put this theory to the test. The protagonist has to pose as a Guardian and convince them that she really is that dangerous. (She is.) | |
