Dark New World (Book 2): EMP Exodus - Plot & Excerpts
Black had provided. Eagan was there already but sat next to his rifle and pack. Still sweaty, he must have just arrived. Clever one, that Eagan. Taggart decided to revise his view of the soldier. Maybe he would be useful for more than carrying a rifle. “Eagan. Glad you made it, son. Any of our civvy friends get back alive?” Taggart cocked his head to one side to show interest, even though in his exhaustion no enthusiasm could be heard in his voice. He leaned against a wall and slid down it, taking a seat to rest. “One. The Militia guy who was with the other civvy made it. He said the rest were killed, but that he didn’t think anyone was taken alive. Surprising, from green civs.” “Aff. They did better than I’d thought, but Black said they were fighting to feed their families. I imagine the deal holds if they die for the cause, but not if they get captured.” Eagan shrugged, then lay his head back against the wall and closed his eyes. Taggart did the same. He thought about debriefing Eagan about how he got through the desperate people who had turned the simple ambush into a total clusterfuck but decided against it.
