Hostage To The Stars: A Sectors SF Romance - Plot & Excerpts
Johnny at the rear, the soldiers marched in the direction of the pirate stronghold. Sure enough, about an hour into the hike, a storm struck. Fortunately for his companions, he’d marked a small cave formation in his study of the terrain and led them to shelter there, before a flash flood came along to wipe them out. The soldiers lounged around the cave, barely able to see each other in the gloom, and groused. “Tell me again why we had to come in to rescue this woman now?” said the corporal. He glared at the sheeting cold rain outside. “Word is the governor’s wife is bidding against him in the ransom negotiation,” the captain replied. “Might have even arranged the grab in the first place.” The idea made sense to Johnny; given everything else he’d heard and seen so far in Sector Fifty Five. If the general civilian populace of this area had any idea what went on at the highest levels, they’d be amazed. The galaxy-wide war against the Mawreg and their client races occupied so much of the time and attention of the overarching Sectors government, small problems like corrupt politicians and pockets of inefficiency didn’t matter.
