When Lieutenant Colonel Kathy Selina is offered the choice to relocate to the Antyllus colony, she hardly has a choice. The military has not only training and time invested in her, but she’s also been given a new SUB body to defeat the deadly disease that would have killed her, as a human. Kathy, along with her executive officer, Major Dave Mitchel, a handful of SUBs, and the members of the Colony Defense Force, must pit their skills and abilities against the most malevolent enemy the universe has ever faced.
Failure will mean a terrible end for the planet’s native inhabitants, those who’ve come to colonize Antyllus, and certain death for the small cadre of defenders, as well. In a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, how can Kathy, Dave, and their band of soldiers defend an entire world against THE VAMPIRES OF ANTYLLUS?
EXCERPT
Kathy saw the net stop then zoomed in on Illat, who
yanked hard on the line. Illat could see the net was stuck so he wisely stopped
trying to pull it.
Kathy refocused on the net. Dave was ripping the top
of it apart with his one good hand. Then he jumped up and grabbed the vine just
as the net fell out from around him. Kathy was shocked. Had she been a breather,
she would have gasped. "Dave!" She cried out, knowing full well he
would not hear her at this distance with the river roaring below him.
She knew Dave was without the use of his right arm,
so she instantly understood what she had to do. Without hesitation, she leapt
up and grabbed the vine and started to hand over hand her way out to Dave as
fast as she could. The farther out she got, the more she had to slow down, her
movement was causing a wave affect in the vine that was bouncing Dave up and
down. She could not eliminate this effect but she could minimize it by slowing
down. As strong as Dave might be, he was still trying to maintain a grip on a
wet, swinging, bouncing vine.
When she finally got to him, she spoke first.
"Are you this much fun on every date?"
