Stowaway

by Z D Dean

  Zade hurriedly moved to retrieve the dropped data core but, before he could reach it, the bulkhead next to it seemed to melt away and the core was drawn into the wall of the ship. Zade stood in rapt fascination as he watched the accents in the wall begin to pulse with green light. Before he could move, an electric shock rose from the floor to his head causing stars to bloom across his field of view. When Zade’s vision cleared he was staring at the hologram of a woman projected from the ceiling of his quarters.

  “Thank you for providing the data core needed for me to regain a portion of my function, I am currently working at one percent of my total capacity. The shock you felt was a scan of your physiology, biological function and needs, and your memory. I approve of my new name and your vision for our mission. I am Ananna, starship destroyer, nice to meet you.”

  End of Book 1

  I hope you liked reading this as much as I liked writing it.

  Thank you for reading through the first book of the Redleg Star Chronicles. I chose to write this to challenge myself. I wanted to know if I had the discipline, dedication and attention to detail required to write an entire book. Please leave a review, good or bad, to let me know what you though of it. All I ask is that the reviews are constructive, so I can improve my writing.
