A Rising Thunder – Snippet 25   Chapter Eight   “I don’t know, Luis.”   Governor Oravil Barregos paused and took a sip of the really nice Mayan burgundy Admiral Luis Roszak had chosen to accompany dinner.

Dog And Dragon – Snippet 04   “Ah. It’s a sharp master too. A wonder you don’t cut yourself, gleeman. Nikos, come and give the Beng-creature a good poke with that black iron spear of yours.”   Someone knew — or had known — a great deal about demondim and the few creatures that survived [...]

The Road Of Danger – Snippet 65             He slapped Edmonson’s hand away. He didn’t bother to bellow, “Keep away from the bloody board when I’m on it!” because Hogg had already caught the spacer’s wrist and twisted it up behind his back to move him away from the young master.             “Wait [...]

Dog And Dragon – Snippet 03   “Go on, Díleas. We might as well see just who they are and what they’re up to and cadge you a drink, panting dog,” said Fionn, prodding him with a toe.   Díleas dropped his head and looked warily…not at the advancing carts but at the trail in [...]

A Rising Thunder – Snippet 24   “Well, I’m afraid I can’t agree that it’s a very good idea,” he told her flatly.   “Why not?” If Simpson was dismayed (or surprised) by his response, her tone gave no indication of it.   “Several reasons occur to me right off hand. First and foremost, there’s [...]

The Road Of Danger – Snippet 64             The dock had a floating extender, but now at high tide it had risen level with the concrete spine where a small aircar waited. Idling fans spun swirls from the steam which the Hrynko‘s thrusters had boiled up from the harbor.             Adele joined Osorio [...]

A Rising Thunder – Snippet 23   “I’m sure you and Assistant Director Miternowski-Zhyang have been fully briefed on what happened to Admiral Crandall’s task force at Spindle,” she resumed. “Obviously that came as a shock to all of us in the Navy.

Dog And Dragon – Snippet 02

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:00:25 +0000

Dog And Dragon – Snippet 02   So now, somewhere, back in some place that she’d been torn from as a babe, they had to find her again.   Fionn had no idea where that might be. A place of magics, where human magery ran strong in the blood, that much he could be sure [...]

The Road Of Danger – Snippet 63             Hogg grinned with pride. He knew even less than the spacers did of Daniel’s plans, but he knew the young master was about to stick it to the other fellow.             Lindstrom and the crewmen looked blank–or blankly horrified, in the case of West. Still [...]
