Warstrider: Jackers (Warstrider Series, Book Three) - Plot & Excerpts
—Admiral Lord Nelson ca. C.E. 1805 The weapon was called sempu, "whirlwind," and it was built into the hull of some warstriders as a close-range antipersonnel measure. Often it was set to fire automatically and indiscriminately, when any moving target came within range. A 40mm shell disintegrated as it cleared the weapon's muzzle, loosing an expanding cloud of lead pellets like a shotgun blast. The pellets were strung together by tangled meters of monofilament, threads no thicker than a single molecule and far stronger than steel. Dispersing in a filmy, high-velocity cloud, the stuff sliced through everything in its path, vegetation, light armor, muscle, bone, all with equal ease. Lying facedown in the pavement rubble, Katya felt the ripping wind of the horror's passing half a meter above her back. An instant later, a CPG blast struck the Tachi like a lightning bolt, dazzling her even through tight-shut eyelids, ripping the strider's dorsal armor apart in a splatter of molten duralloy.
