Flagship (A Captain's Crucible #1) - Plot & Excerpts
Eight hours had passed since he had been sentenced to the brig, a span of time that had brought the fleet that much closer to battle. Task Unit Two would have separated from the first unit by then, and Captain Scott would be aboard the Callaway. Jonathan pitied Robert. The palm trees bobbed up and down beside him. In the distance, several hot air balloons of differing shapes and sizes dotted the horizon. He had raced one of them in the Annual Exotic Hot Air Balloon competition earlier—a llama-shaped balloon, actually. He'd lost. Before that, he had spent an hour piloting a microdrone around a realistic depiction of late twenty-first century Shanghai, reconstructed from aerial lightfield footage of the era. He had dodged a butcher's knife as he flew past outdoor slaughterhouses, avoided a wave of passing cyclists intent on running him down, and weaved between the lithe models of a fashion shoot. He would have preferred to walk the area on foot but the confines of the brig weren't conducive to such a leisurely exploration.
