Book 2, Scavenger Falters by Liza O'Connor LAST TOUR STOP

Welcome to Scavenger Falters

First, let me share the main characters.

Meet Alisha

Unlike the rest of the SkyRyders, who had never tried to improve their Wind-Catcher over the last 60 years, Alisha saw great possibilities in modifying her catcher. These changes along with her natural talent made her skills far better than any of the other SkyRyders. So on her third day (after 2 battles which were won solely on her skills) MAC promoted her to Colonel responsible for teaching the rest of the SkyRyders how to fly.

Meet Colonel Logan

Logan reaffirms there can be no relationship between him and Alisha. She has an entire fort to teach how to fly better and he needs to learn her skills as fast as possible so he can become General of the East Coast. But can he do that? If he truly loves Alisha, can he deny the love between them?

Meet Jack Sparks

With the Broadtown Fort destroyed (book 1) space for colonels is at a premium at Capital Fort. Thus, Alisha is to bunk with Colonel Sparks. Colonel Logan is not happy and offers to bunk with Dryers so Alisha could have a room of her own, only General Powell refuses to change the room assignments. He assures Logan that the two would be too busy to get up to mischief. In truth, there is another reason why he's certain they won't be coupling rather than sleeping. And we'll find out why.

Meet General Powell

If he had a nickname, it would be Grumpy, but no one has the balls to give him a nickname. Even Jack hated the general when he first arrived. Powell has made every colonel other than Logan cry. He has a puritanical streak a mile wide, a blind eye to the making of dogs (abusing new cadets), and always demands more than is reasonable from his men. And he hates women. Until he had to let Logan's people into the Capital Fort there has been no women in his fort. Fortunately, he is so amazed and enchanted by Alisha at first, that he appears to become a nicer general.

Liza O'Connor

Alisha Kane, the Corps’ best flyer, is promoted to colonel, in charge of teaching the Corp’s SkyRyders her extraordinary flying maneuvers. The man she loves, Logan, continues to place the Corps first and insists they both remain focused on their work. For Alisha, this means ferreting out the best flyers in a Corps that has systematically forced great flyers into mediocrity. Logan focuses on learning Alisha’s flying techniques so that he can become the hero the East Coast desperately needs. The result includes fractured ribs and broken hearts, but through it all they never relinquish their love of the Corps.

Excerpt

The day after the devastation of the Broadtown Fort

Logan woke to the stirring pleasure of soft kisses upon his face and a familiar hot body pressed against him. He opened his eyes, and upon realizing this was more than a pleasant dream, he escaped the bed.

“Alisha, what are you doing in here?” he demanded of the beautiful young woman who regularly tormented his dreams and presently resided in his bed.

“Waking you up.” She cocked her head to one side, causing her dark hair to cover her right shoulder. God, she looked so young and adorable fluttering those long eyelashes. “But before we can go any further, I need you to release me from a part of your order.” She climbed out of bed and put her arms around his waist. “The part forbidding me to engage in any physical or seductive actions toward you.”

Logan unwrapped her hands from around his waist and gently moved her farther away from him. “I can’t. The order remains.”

“But you love me!” she insisted. “You told me so last night before the mission!”

Logan sighed. He led her back to the bed and sat her down on the edge. “Alisha, I’ve always loved you. I think I may have loved you from the moment I set eyes on you.”

“It was the same for me!” she confessed.

He smiled and stroked her face. “But all that love doesn’t change the facts. I’m your commanding officer, I’m too old for you, and you can and will do better. My orders remain.”

Space Rep: I love coloring books and bookmarks.

Liza: Today, I'm interviewing The Origin of Pietas, Bringer of Chaos.

Space Rep: Don’t we have enough chaos already?

Liza: Nope. So book with many words, may I call you Chao?

Book: Are you misspelling the Italian word for 'goodbye'?

Space Rep: No. She's spelling Chaos, but if she types more than four letters she misspells.

Book: That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard.

Space Rep: Well, it is what it is. So what's it going to be? Chao, Semp, Brin, or Orig?

Book (sighs): How about Brin, that’s a nice name.

Liza: Finally, I feared all we were going to do is argue over your name, and I've got some serious questions for you to answer.

Brin: Such as?

Liza: Based on the information I received from a reliable source, you allowed your main character, an immortal, to get captured, held in isolation and not fed for an entire year.

Brin: Well, I would hardly say I allowed him to...

Liza: You are the book, which makes you responsible for all the characters within. And yet you did nothing while this poor immortal was stripped of everything but his honor.

Brin: Not true. I introduced a human into my pages, named Six. He took care of Pietas.

Liza: Took CARE of him? Shouldn't that include...I don't know...feeding Pie?

Brin: He had nothing to do with starving Pietas. Yes, he was the one who originally captured Pietas, but he was also the one who helped keep the immortal sane while imprisoned.

Liza: Well, excuse me if I don't let him babysit my box of kittens.

Brin: I have no idea what that means.

Liza: You don't have kittens on your planet?

Brin: No...

Liza: Well, that explains a great deal. So what happens to poor Pie?

Brin: Pietas and the human are dumped on an alien planet--

Liza: Does it have kittens?

Brin: No, I don't believe so.

Liza (huffs): So what's the game plan?

Brin: Pietas knows there are other exiled immortals and with the help of Six, he's determined to find them.

Liza: So Pie and Six are best of friends now, searching for other immortals?

Brin: (grimaces): I would not say the best of friends. Pietas has been killing humans most of his very long life, but he does allow Six to restore him to full strength and accompany him.

Liza: Wow! That's really considerate of him. Man do these two need a kitten!

Brin: Overtime Pietas does begins to wonder if he has found his first human friend in Six.

Liza: What other explanation could there be for Six restoring Pie's health?

Brin: Well, he could have restored Pietas so the immortal would keep others immortals from killing him.

Liza (thumps head on top of book)

Brin: It's a reasonable concern. This friendship could be the beginning of peace between their people, or one more backstab in an endless line of betrayals. As his trust grows, so does the depth of detail Pietas reveals. This human will either be his closest living friend or the one whose betrayal will trigger all-out vengeance by the most powerful immortal ever born.

Liza: Let me help these two out. These are kittens. Pass them out to all your characters!

Brin: Thank you...I guess.

Liza: Now may I peek beneath your covers?

Brin: Why?

Liza: Because it sounds like a very good Warrior bromance if we just add a few kittens and soften them up.

Brin: If you bring kittens into my story, I am not responsible for whatever happens to them.

Liza: What do you think will happen to them?

Brin: They'll probably be eaten...I did mention Pietas hasn't had food for a year, right?

Liza: Space Rep! Grab the kittens!

Space Rep: I told you it was a bad idea.

Liza: Just take them and go. Now, Brin, open up your cover. My readers and I want a peek!

EXCERPT

In this scene, Pietas is waiting in an airless room for humans to enter. They think they will pick up his lifeless body and put him in a stasis pod, but the immortal can hold his breath ten times longer than a human. When the soldiers enter, Pietas realizes they are from Ghost Division, a group of reanimated special ops warriors.

The stasis pod Pietas hid behind rested on the floor, and came up to mid-thigh. It hid him but allowed no view of the door. A sudden change of light told him soldiers had entered. Grunts, they wore beams on their chests to light their way. The idiots had left them on, which let him calculate the level of brightness. At least six.

That was all he warranted? He hardly knew whether to be amused or insulted.

He waited for a stirring of emotion but felt none. Smart. They'd sent either androids or ghosts with those new anti-emo chips. The latter would be fun to fight. When he killed them, would they experience a human death, or did they have to be terminated like an Ultra? How well did the chips work?

He'd find out in a minute.

A tiny trickle of fear leaked. That meant three things.

One: ghosts. Two: anti-emo chips? Worthless. Three: even the dead feared him.

More fear leaked, and then frustration. The ghosts were fighting the effect of the chip. They were afraid of being afraid. Typical. Humans underestimated the power of death. They thought dying and coming back to life meant you'd overcome the fear of dying. He had died thousands of times, yet he still avoided it. Their anti-emo chips had given them no edge whatsoever.

Excellent. He could use that.

Another hint of fear surfaced. It zinged over Pietas's skin like a cool breeze, good as a waft of air. How interesting! Emotion from the reanimated energized more than emotion from the living. He drew the aetheric fear into himself, gathering strength.

The silence meant no air had entered the room. He'd miss his favorite sound: bones breaking in his enemies.

Space Rep: Wow! This book sounds really good. I'm going to find the links to buy it. Found them!
