SFFS: A Snippet From DEATH BRINGS THE VICTORY

Time for another snippet for Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday (and after you're done here, make sure to check out all the excellent authors involved). Being as how I've been editing Death Brings the Victory the past several weeks, I decided it was time to bring out another small sample. So, here goes a snippet with Jeanie alerting Aston to how far away a pair of attacking star-fighters are:

“Fifteen kilpars outside of their weapons range.”

Quite a distance, if we’d all been flying the same ships. Unfortunately, my small transport would barely make it to orbital altitude before they caught up to us. There’d still be plenty of distance to cover before we reached the Torian border, let alone the orbital station.

A shiver went up my spine as I remembered a crucial fact. There was still a trio of Torian warships out there.

All in all, it was a pretty dismal situation. I’d been through them many times before, and had always come out mostly unscathed.

So, in other words, I was due.

And of course, if this snippet draws your attention, be sure to check out all of my novels. Some of them (such as The Cure and Seeker) are even available as 99-cent downloads from Amazon, B&N.com and around the internet. But all of them are great reads, so you can't go wrong!
