NEW WORLD
Blurb
With much of Earth burning presently,
soon Earth will fall into a very long ice age.
Fortunately, a group of women, men,
half-saires, and one full-saire are hidden on a lovely island. The full-saire
has a spaceship capable of leaving Earth and traveling to a more reliable
planet that never grows too cold or hot.
However, when they arrive, the planet
looks much like prehistoric Earth, with giant reptiles everywhere. Fortunately,
Keelan and Tiburon are strong and mighty warriors. By noon, they have killed
most of the deadly creatures that their life bubble protects. They also saved
the life of a twelve-foot chicken-like creature who turns out to be sentient
and a great help when locating dangers.
The two warriors were able to remove
most of the T-Rexes as well. Only two had to be killed for refusing to leave
their valley. Thus, they have survived day one.
But how long will their bullets and
luck hold out?
EXCERPT
1 The Final
Preparations to go to the New World
It took over a year to acquire all the
instruments, weaponry, and other items they believed they would need to survive
on the new planet. And for the entire year, none of the men would make love to
Jesse nor any of the other ladies who had not been sterilized. Not even her
beloved Keelan.
While Jesse understood the reason why
she should not become pregnant during the year of preparation, the loss of
affection made her testy to all the men, which resulted in all the men avoiding
her like the plague.
The smartest person in their group,
Carmella had gotten her tubes tied the prior year when she finally realized
her future contributions would come from the sons she had already born and her
fabulous brain. This allowed her to focus all her love on Kyle, the man who
gave up his career to ensure she was safe from the government. Between her
brilliance and that of her two sons, they could solve almost any problem that
occurred. And there was an astounding number of problems on a daily basis.
Jesse would have been overwhelmed if
the task to solve these complicated matters had been placed on her shoulders.
Yet, Carmella seemed to sort out solutions faster than trouble could show up.
She had to be the smartest woman on Earth.
Jesse’s job was less impressive. She
only had her nanny job now. And the children and cubs were so sweet and
well-behaved, that she mostly just hugged and kissed them. Even in their play,
they were now cooperative and gentle to the younger children.
Still, she worried about those who did
not have her blood. She feared they would think themselves second-rate
children. Thus, every day she always made an effort to build their confidence.
Jess never saw Keelan anymore. He would
call her often from his army cell phone and ask about her day and then tell her
of his day, but he refused to see her in person. He confessed his need to make
love to her would overwhelm him, so until they reached their new home, he
needed to stay far away from her.
Jess sighed heavily. “I am not happy
with you staying away, but I understand. If I actually saw you just now, I
would jump your bones for sure. I’ve never needed love so intensely as I do
now.”
“Well, once we land on the planet,
assess, and solve our immediate dangers, I will do my best to cheer you up.”
“Why can’t you cheer me up first?” Jess
objected.
Keelan sighed heavily. “Because half of
our people would set off to check out our new planet and be eaten within hours.
They have no concept of the present dangers on our new planet.”
“Why did you choose this planet if it
is so dangerous?”
“Because I intend to get rid of the
dangers.”
“Will you be safe doing that?” Jesse
challenged.
“I refuse to lie to you, so the answer
is no. I will not be safe, but it has to be done. Tiburon and I are the best
warriors to see this done. The others would just get themselves killed. So, the
rest of you will remain in the cloaked ship until we remove the worst threats.”
“I will keep myself and the children
inside the ship. However, I expect Mechal will object to remaining in the ship,
given he still believes he is our leader. Why has no one told him that Enigma
has made you our new leader? He needs to be told.”
“I agree. Only Carmella thinks it is
better if he doesn’t know, and Enigma agreed.”
“But keeping it a secret...Oh...they must
think he’ll refuse to go if he is not the leader anymore.”
“I suspect that is their thinking.
However, Mechal is by no means an idiot. When he discovers he is no longer the
leader, he will strikeout. Mark my words. I will attempt to make him
understand that he is not a warrior. Had he been born on Saire, he would have
been a member of the high council.”
“Oh, he would have liked that. Will he
have the job doing that on our new planet?”
“That depends upon Enigma. I have no
idea how long he wishes to be thought a cub. His brain is fully formed now, but
it will be another year or two before his body catches up.”
