A Savage War Of Peace (Ark Royal Book 5) - Plot & Excerpts
John said, “precisely what you were thinking?” Crewman Ryan Bjorklund and Crewman Francis Turner looked at each other, nervously. It was rare for crewmen to be called in to face the Captain; normally, disciplinary matters on the lower decks were handled by the Senior Chief. But Philip Richards had hauled them up to Officer Country as soon as they’d returned from the surface, without giving them a chance to agree on a story. He now stood behind them, glowering at their backs. “Don’t look at each other,” John snapped. “I’m waiting for an explanation.” “Captain,” Turner said. “I ... we were down on the surface ...” John sighed, inwardly. He’d hoped to avoid shore leave problems - it wasn't as if there was much to do at Fort Knight, beyond walking around the perimeter and trying to chat up civilians - but he'd underestimated the ability of young men to get into trouble. Both Bjorklund and Turner had good records, yet they'd seemingly thrown away all common sense. It wasn't going to look good when they were considered for promotion.
