Patriot (A Jack Sigler Continuum Novella) - Plot & Excerpts
Reardon asked, glancing back at Finkle, who immediately riffled through the copied journal. They’d left Nichols back at camp to tend to Jenkins and the young sailor who’d become infected with vine growth later that day. King had led them on their trek through the St. Johns River basin. Now, only eleven of the original twenty-three crew members in the expedition remained, and they marched warily behind King, Reardon and Finkle. Greer took up the rear, making sure no one else would decide to desert. They were following the river, bending back and forth from a southeast to easterly direction. The going would have been slow under normal circumstances, but as they took great pains to avoid contact with any of the surrounding vegetation, they crept along at an excruciating pace. Finkle shook his head. “As I’ve said before, there aren’t many landmarks written down. It’s difficult to say.” “We’re close,” King said. He couldn’t explain it. He didn’t quite understand it himself, but he was beginning to feel an unmistakable tug toward their destination.
