The Vipers - Excerpt from KARRIK for #WeWriWa and #SnippetSunday
Welcome to
Weekend Writing Warriors
and
Snippet Sunday
. Sample the work of a new author. Read snippets of stories in different genres. I’m continuing to post snippets from my current work, Karrik, Book 6 of SciFi series, Taxyon Space . Brief recap: due to crippling battle injuries, Karrik is in a hospice on the aliens’ home world.
Last week’s excerpt introduced Karrik’s older brother Alarik and his human lover, Phoebe. Their story began in Book 4, Alarik. You can read the excerpt at: https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2023/01/alarik-and-phoebe-excerpt-from-karrik.html
Alarik reflected in wry amusement on their intertwined lives. “Our journeys were launched when the Eekrepisth ship crashed on Mars. That sad accident knitted our paths together.”
She cocked her head. “And Deimos? Poor Deimos is still suffering from the Vipers’ torture.”
“Don’t worry, Sparrow. I have assumed responsibility for your brother’s welfare also.”
Ten sentences and a few more
Alarik and Phoebe deduced that Deimos had become the Vipers’ quarry after he acquired the alien object on Mars. His bruises and broken bones were healing, although he had not yet recovered his full strength nor his memory of the events leading to his injuries.
Phoebe murmured, “Where is he? He was right in front of us.”
“The Undercaptains have taken him into the main section of the starship.” Alarik gestured to the arched exit of the vestibule.
He guided Phoebe under the arch into a short connector ending at a barrier. A glistening circle of membrane in the wall served as an airlock. They separated to step one after the other through the iridescent membrane into a curved passage.
Reclaiming Phoebe’s hand, Alarik explained, “This passage spirals around the living section of the starship and gives access to the cabins, ship’s offices, and bridge.”
I plan to set the book up for pre-order soon.
