This week I’m continuing my new story. It will be book 3 in my series Atrapako on Eden. The settings are two remote planets: Eden, a terraformed planet with a colony of humans; and Vkani, an inhospitable planet with scaled human(oid) aliens. You can read about the planets and their inhabitants in my Blog Post HERE.
At the beginning of the story, Maya and her team are flying over the Deadlands in search of the ruins of an ancient civilization.
My tentative title is Trapped on Vkani. You can read last week’s snippet here – https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2019/01/hazardous-landing-snippet-from-wip-for.html
Maya
froze in a flash of panic. Her first mission, the first she had led, might be
her last. She fingered the bridge of the nose filters under her mask. If the
air scrubber failed, she would need the filters to block the grit and toxic
atmosphere. Her team must also be suffering the realization of their deadly
peril. For the most part, they were handling the shock well.
In the
co-pilot’s seat, Hong gasped. She glanced over her shoulder at Maya, dismay
written in her eyes, although the mask muffled her face.
Seated
next to Maya, their tech expert, Felix, cursed as he jabbed his fingers on his
tablet.

a swearing, finger-jabbing tech expert is not a good sign.
ReplyDeleteNo. He has a problem.
DeleteCurses from the tech expert is not a good sign. Interesting snippet!
ReplyDeleteHe will have more annoyances throughout the story.
DeleteThe initial shock is the hardest, but I hope they can work together to pull through.
ReplyDeleteMost of them will survive.
DeleteWonderful scene description. They sure are in a pickle!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAgain, this snippet sort of echoes the book I'm snippeting from. So all I can say is, GREAT STORYLINE!
ReplyDeleteI think we will deviate in chapter two.
DeleteWhen the tech starts swearing, you know you're in trouble. Good snippet. Makes me ask all kinds of questions.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are in trouble and tech won't get them out.
DeleteOh that's not good. Great snippet, Aurora.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGreat imagery of the dire situation. If the tech guy is worried, everyone should be too. :) I look forward to finding out how they get out of this.
ReplyDeleteIt's a long story!
DeleteThis does not sound good! Cant' wait to find out how (and if) they get out of this mess!
ReplyDeleteIt will be out of the frying pan into the fire.
