Excerpt

Grannork glared down at Hayden. The Orcandu’s breath assaulted the human’s nose with the smell of burnt meat. The hulking creature grabbed him by the scruff of his neck until they were eye to eye.

The muscular beast snarled, “I should tear your spine from your body.”

“Then who’d do movie night?” Hayden replied with a grin.

“I missed your pizza,” Grannork said, and brought in the scrawny human for a hug that was nearly as life-threatening as the other ways an Orcandu could eviscerate a guy.

The moment was surreal. The soldiers who had held them hostage and even beaten Grannork within an inch of his life were now helping them and under Kal’s command. Makiuarnek had given her a code, and his crew had to listen to her. Another group, the people loyal to Sarge, were led by Tomahawk, who seemed to respect Kal’s authority.

It was a motley throng of mercenaries, ex-IF, and escaped convicts assembled in the hangar of the alien megastructure. They all seemed to be gathering in their respective groups, while Kal had disappeared into the Dervish with Maker. Since Hayden didn’t have a place in any group, he gambled that his former shipmates would take him back. For the most part, it was true. Now that they knew his reasons for joining the Fenrir, most were eager to accept him back.

Cid seemed to be one of the holdouts. He regarded Hayden with a special vehemence reserved for people he despised.

Hayden had attempted to apologize, but all Cid could muster was, “We could have been killed,” and he had turned to his bird companion with finality to the conversation.

“Cid will come around,” Grannork offered, following Hayden’s gaze.

“At least he won’t be able to gore me,” Hayden said.

They chitchatted about trivial matters, considering that they were in a hangar hidden on a planet that would be swarming with IF by now. If they attempted to leave, they would be noticed, and the entire might of the Interstellar Forces fleet would descend on the place if they hadn’t already.

From his service days, Hayden wagered that the IF had quickly mobilized orbital superiority and scanned the forests of Nigramoto for the Dervish. Even though their ship was the fastest, there was no way they’d break through the blockade waiting for them. They had been lucky when they escaped Earth.

Now, the IF knew they were here and wouldn’t let them disappear again. Tommy told Hayden that the atomic printers still functioned in the ancient alien megacity, so they probably had an endless supply of fish and other aquatic creatures the beings ate. They wouldn’t starve, but they also wouldn’t be able to stay indefinitely.

The megacity was not visible from the miners’ platforms to haul decrand from the interior. However, with the Dervish disappearing entirely from the planet’s surface and disturbance in the flow of decrand, it wouldn’t take a genius to figure out that Kal had found another way below the surface. They would send probes to scan the interior of the Dyson sphere and find the megacity. With limited options for retreat, Hayden hoped Kal and Maker were cooking up a brilliant plan of escape because Hayden was scared for the first time since joining Kal and her crew. However, he didn’t let anyone else see it. He was all smiles and grins, joking with the team and returning to his spot as the guy everyone liked, except Cid, and who knew what the birdman thought about anything.

“The Teristaques will come for us,” Grannork said, as if reading his thoughts.

“Hopefully, Kal will have a plan.”

“She didn’t say anything?”

“No, not much.”

During their ride on a platform back to the surface, Kal had been quiet. She was in one of her moods where Hayden knew it was better not to speak unless spoken to. Whatever happened in the singularity had profoundly affected her. Hayden had never seen her so grim and businesslike. She normally didn’t joke around too much, though Hayden had increased her appreciation of a well-placed one-liner. But now, there was obviously something on her mind. However, the best way to find out would be to wait for her to talk about it. Which, hopefully, wouldn’t be too long because she emerged from the Dervish with Maker.

Grannork’s voice cut through the chatter and echoed in the cavernous blue walls surrounding them.

“Everyone, listen up.” Kal addressed the assembled crews. “It’s time to put aside your differences. I know we were enemies just moments ago, but what is waiting for us on the other side doesn’t care if you are a Human or Shusharhian, IF or independent. We are all in this together, and if we remain divided, we will fall, and if we do not rise to this occasion, every sentient being in the galaxy will be at risk.” A murmur swept through the crowd. Grannork silenced them.

Hayden couldn’t stand it anymore.

He had to know what had happened to her on the other side.

“What’s inside the singularity?” he asked.

A shadow fell over Kal’s face. “The death of every sentient species.”

Meet Aaron Frale:

Good times and hope for a better future. Maybe some fun time travel adventures or interdimensional travelers. A toddler stuck in a barbarian and his mom in a halfling. “Comedy and” is my jam. When not writing, I can be found teaching, podcasting Aaron’s Horror Show, and screaming while playing guitar for the band Spiral. Life has brought my wife, myself, and my son to Montana, where we reside at the moment.

To thwart both dangers, Jetekesh must find a new way into Shinac. With little power of his own, he embarks on a perilous quest with formidable yet mysterious companions toward a jungle country where another Arch may be hidden. Meanwhile, war brews on the horizon, monstrous creatures gather, and Jetekesh has become a beacon for all things magical, good and bad alike.

Meet Steve Heuzinkveld:

Hey — thanks for stopping by! My name’s Steve, and I’m an apocaholic. I’m a fan of all things apocalyptic, because who doesn’t love imagining a world without traffic? When all the rules of society are gone, when emergency services don’t answer, and when every day is a struggle to survive, the capacity for human potential and heroism is unlimited. Which is why I love to write about everyday characters thrust into scenarios where they are forced to go beyond their breaking point, and make peace with the person they have become when they emerge on the other side. My inspiration comes from books, games, movies and TV shows. Some of my favorite stories include The Stand, The 100, The Walking Dead, Falling Skies, Westworld, and of course, The Last Of Us. When I’m not writing, I’m in the kitchen trying a new pickling recipe, or figuring out the best way to zombie-proof my house without alarming the neighbors. I love hearing from my fans, give me a follow! Chat soon!

Read Rogue Destiny by Paul Tallman @PaulTallman11 #Fantasy #Steampunk #SciFi

Title Of Book: Rogue Destiny
By: Paul Tallman
Genre: Fantasy
Sub-Genre: Humorous, Sci-Fi, Steampunk, Metaphysical

Blurb:

Ren never wanted to be the hero of the story. Now he has no choice.

Ren B’gatti is a creature of chaos. A trickster by nature, and a shape-shifter by trade. He is content playing sidekick to the charismatic Claymore Ives. Both are top field agents for the Raconteurs, the self-appointed guardians of the city of Rogue Destiny as well as the vast, untamed literary universe.

Claymore is the archetypical hero, honorable and trustworthy, while Ren lives for the violence and mayhem that follows the Raconteurs everywhere they go. It’s a partnership that works well for both of them, until a routine mission goes horribly wrong, and they stand accused of world genocide.

With Claymore imprisoned and the city hunting Ren, the trickster did what he always did, he ran.

Now Rogue Destiny’s most dangerous crime lord, Mordecai Davos, emerges from the shadows to search for a lost artifact that will restore magic to Rogue Destiny, and the Raconteurs’ only hope lies in an arrogant trickster.

Ren is dragged into the conflict and with the Raconteurs pursue Mordecai and his band of outlaws through the labyrinth of mystical rabbit-holes that connect all literary worlds to find the artifact before it can be used against the fabled city.

No longer able to pretend he’s just a sidekick, Ren must choose between who he is and who he wants to be.

Rogue Destiny has been without magic for a thousand years.

That is all about to change.

5 Stars – “This book is a fantastic first! Highly recommended.”
