The Last Uprising (Defectors Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
I was up and out of my tent before even opening my eyes, clamping my hands over my ears to block out the incessant, piercing note. Panic choked me instantly. They were much too close. Within seconds, beams of blue light flashed between the trees from two different directions, and the rebels started rushing out of their tents, groping for loved ones and sprinting into the woods. I backed away into the trees. My heart was pounding. I couldn’t think clearly. Still in the fog of sleep, I tried to piece together an explanation. The PMC was rounding up the rebels. Already I could hear the screams and shouts and the scuffle of feet in the snow. I focused on breathing and tried to tell myself that they were not the enemy. The PMC officers were on my side. They would not hurt me. Some foolish part of me half expected one of the officers to demand to know what they had done with Haven Allis. But this was not a rescue mission. This was a raid. I saw movement in the darkness: a lone figure sprinting around the edge of the woods toward me — or, rather, toward my tent.
