Today, I have Jessica E. Subject over with her fabulous Underground Series, which I refer to it as the Never Gonna series. Can you figure out why? But whatever you call it, it's superb!
And now she's bundled them all together. So you can keep reading and reading and reading. All for the insane price of
99 Cents
Man, are you lucky!
In the
future…
The
corporation Planet Core holds all of the power. They place restrictions on the
lives of those living within their boundaries, including who they can love. And
there is no escape.
Deception
runs deep…
The rebel
group, calling themselves The Underground, is disputing the corporation’s
leadership. With the desire for freedom, they will fight.
And
betrayal can come from anyone…
Will the
rebels defeat Planet Core, or end up fighting for their lives?
Includes: Never Gonna Let You Go, Never Gonna Desert You, and Never Gonna Say Goodbye

The door
slid open, and Brook rushed into the room she’d left less than an hour ago.
After she’d been told Melina had been killed by the same creature that had
attacked Calla. Now she knew the truth. Now, she had to get on the mission.
Her father
glanced up, his hard brown eyes steely in their determination. “Brook, what are
you doing here?”
“Daddy, I—”
No, I can’t be weak anymore. I have to stand up to him. With a deep
breath, she took the empty seat beside Jager, the new mission commander.
“Malock, I request permission to join SFEA-4. You are short a biologist, and I
am the only one left sufficiently trained for the mission.”
“Denied.
Now, please leave the room. You do not have clearance to be here.”
Brook
stood, flinging the chair against the wall. Wrong answer. She refused to
back down from him anymore. Slamming her hands on the table, she leaned forward
and glared at him. “Your last biologist was attacked by an unknown predator,
the mission commander killed. You need me there to study it, find out what
we’re up against.”
“The answer
is still no,” he growled.
She
straightened her back. “It’s because I’m your daughter, isn’t it? You’d rather
keep me sheltered here while you put everyone else’s life in danger.”
Malock
stared, nostrils flaring. “This has nothing to do with the fact that you’re
my daughter.” He sighed and shook his head. “But if you want to go, fine. It’s
your death sentence.”
He stood
and nodded to Jager. “You know what to do.” He turned his attention to the rest
of the table. “Your mission directives will be presented to you before
departure. Please be familiar with them prior to setting up camp.”
Her father
made his way around the table, stopping beside her. She tensed when he rested a
hand on her shoulder.
He shook
his head. “You left me with no choice.” Then he marched out of the room.
Jager took
the floor, and Brook picked up her chair and returned to her seat. The new
mission commander projected a holographic image of the foreign landscape across
the table, but she couldn’t concentrate on his presentation. Her father’s
cryptic words echoed through her mind. Your death sentence…. No choice….
Was the
entire mission doomed for failure? Were they all being sent to die? Why would
Planet Core do that? Airondelle was supposed to be the corporation’s future.
Brook
focused on Jager, but his words went in one ear and out the other. A pit of
worry grew in her stomach. Would her father really allow her to be ripped apart
by a predator in the night? No, I can’t think about that. She’d demanded
to go on the mission. And if Melina could survive on the planet, so could she.
She just had to find her first.
“Okay,
let’s roll out.”
Out?
Time to go, already?
The rest of
the crew pushed away from the conference table and trooped out the door with
excited murmurs. A far cry from the turmoil rolling through her.
“Let’s go,
Malock.” Jager raised his eyebrows. “Or did you change your mind?”
She stood
and released a deep breath. Even with her trepidation, she refused to back out
now. Melina waited for her. “No, I’m looking forward to seeing Airondelle for myself.”
Brook spun
away and rushed to catch up with her comrades. If she revealed her plans, she’d
be stopped before she could find her lover. She would have to hide Melina right
under their noses to bring her home. She pushed her shoulders back. I can do
this. I have to.
The
all-terrain vehicles sat loaded with equipment for the mission in front of the
swirling mass of the portal. Her father certainly wasn’t wasting any time
getting a team back to Airondelle. Crewmembers already filled the first vehicle,
so she hopped into the back of the second.
Jager
passed around everyone’s mission directives then shoved in on her left. Thank
goodness he was the last to load. With his bulk, he occupied both of the
remaining seats.
Before she
had time to read her personal orders, they proceeded into the portal. She
passed through the spinning matter, her body pulled and stretched in every
direction. Unknown forces pushed on her chest, making it difficult to breathe.
She gripped the seat, hoping she wouldn’t get pulled out. But the awkwardness
didn’t last long. The transporter room light years away, clean, fresh air
poured into her lungs. The alien vegetation of the foreign planet lined the
rough dirt road they traveled. She yearned to explore the flora and fauna on a
more intimate level. And she would, after setting up camp.
She opened
the folder with her mission directive inside. Instead of the stack of papers
detailing what Planet Core expected of her, she found a single sheet. Her
father’s handwriting scrawled across the page. You can never know the truth.
Hard, cold
steel pressed against her temple. A gun. Her breath caught. What the
fuck is going on? She grabbed her knapsack and launched out of the vehicle.

Thank you so much, Liza, for having my Never Gonna series on your blog! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI know why I call it Never Gonna, but should you call it the Underground Series? Don't go picking up my bad habits.
DeleteLOL I call it the series I started in high school. ;-)
DeleteI like all of Jessica's books. They are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Melissa! :-)
DeleteBoth of you got me, I clicked the Amazon link. Now to find the time to read these books.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little curious, however, as to the meaning of "boxed set" when discussing e-books... One of the unanswerables, I suppose.
Thanks to both of you!
It an 'e box set' the same as it's a 'ebook' or in this case 3 of the them.
DeleteThank you very much, Tonyl! I hope you enjoy them. Yes, the term box set has just carried over from print to digital. I guess we should put the e in front. ;-)
