Welcome to another
Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday. Sample
the work of a new author. Read snippets of stories in different genres.
I skipped the last
couple of weekends while my husband and I were traveling to Connecticut to visit
our younger son.
I’m posting excerpts
from Baswin, the
fifth book in my Sci-Fi Romance
series, Taxyon Space. Baswin is an alien Warrish ‘merman’ who is living in secret on Earth disguised
as a human. He is worried about being discovered. His brother Alarik, another
covert agent, has traveled to Mars, partly to escape unknown enemies.
In my last excerpt,
Baswin received an alarm about strangers entering his brother’s apartment.
My last snippet on July
4th introduced Baswin. You can read the snippet at: https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2021/07/intruders-threaten-his-secret-mission.html
The men made a cautious circle of the open
living area. They did not speak. At an unspoken signal, they separated. One man
went to check the bedroom and adjacent washroom, while the other scoured the
furniture in the main room. Each man searched the cabinets, shelves and
drawers, removing individual articles and replacing them methodically. They ran
their gloved fingers along the window frames and edges of the doors, feeling
for hidden bugs.
Efficient
and careful. Professionals, Baswin guessed.
Within a
few minutes, the two men reunited by the sofa. Exchanging nods, but no words,
they departed.
Ten lines and a little
more:
He had to
warn his brother.
This intrusion into Alarik’s
apartment only intensified his worries. Their mysterious enemies had penetrated
his brother’s primary residence and likely compromised his alias as Rick Kent.
Pondering the sequence of events, Baswin drummed his fingers on the rover’s
control bar. By this date, Alarik ought to have arrived on Mars. He might be safer
on that planet, beyond the jurisdiction of any searchers, assuming their bosses
were based on Earth.
He keyed
the code for his brother’s qtel.
After a
minute, Alarik’s face appeared on the screen.
“Bas?” He
rubbed his eyes as if he had just been roused from sleep. It might be nighttime
in his location on the red planet.
Two human sisters
chosen to train as astronavigators.
Their paths are
destined to converge.
Psychic sensitives,
Holly Moon and her sister Rosie, are chosen as candidates for Warrish training
as hyperspace navigators. The sisters are eager to promote humanity’s advance

adapt to the alien neuro-implants.

Kenton Tallis, Second of his Triad, lives on Earth disguised as a human. When

flee to the Warrish embassy in the Pacific Ocean.
Holly and Baswin are
swept together on an island in the Pacific Ocean, but their destiny lies
farther away and many forces threaten to drive them apart. Can they overcome
the obstacles and find a haven?
