John Maddox Roberts - Spacer: Window Of Mind - Plot & Excerpts
The killers were still behind her. She scrambled on bare feet over the rubble of a half-col lapsed building. There was a narrow alley to her right and she ducked into it. Maybe they wouldn't see the move and would pass up the alley. She had not been quick enough. "There she is!" a voice yelled. Without breaking stride, she stooped and snatched up a fist-sized chunk of plasticrete. On her next stride, she pivoted on the ball of one foot, spun and threw it, continuing the spin and continuing to run down the alley with almost no time lost. She heard a man yell with pain, and she grinned. It would make no difference. They were going to kill her pretty soon, but there was still some satisfaction in drawing blood. As she ran, her mind unrolled a map of the area ahead of her. Nobody knew the slums of Civis Astra as well as Kiril. A life of constant danger spent amid the planless tangle of alleys and streets of the sprawling slum had honed her sense of direction and location to preternatural sharpness.
