Excerpt - Chapter 8: Colossus
The curtain of flak fire rapidly rolled back, clearing the path for the assault ships and their escorts. As the combat fliers cleared the south ridge, the oasis yawned beneath them. Icy rock fell away in great cliffs and jagged ravines to the west and the east. Picturesque pools of steaming water streaming from hot springs beneath the earth dotted the lush greenery that bloomed to the north. The air immediately warmed as the fliers crossed the boundary between arctic wasteland and geothermal oasis. A layer of light fog hung low over the valley. Firefly squinted. Near the center of the oasis, a dark grey shape loomed.
“Storm Warden, this is Wolf Lead,” Firefly said. “I visual on the Titan’s Keeper. Proceeding with assault.”
“Understood, Timberwolf... wait, be advised,” came the warning from Storm Warden, “New radar contacts at zero one eight. Tally nine bandits; eight fliers and one gunship closing in on your formation.”
Expect lots of combat, some new characters, and plenty of plot-relevant narrative in the near future.
I can't wait!
