    About this ebook

    Strange things are happening at the Space Force Military Academy. General Gruss believes the Ice Beast is responsible and asks cadet Riv Mardok to hunt down the menace. Mardok, always eager to “protect the helpless,” accepts the quest, but when he finds himself trapped, alone in the forest, his bravery isn’t enough to save him. Mardok has no choice but to call for help. The question is: will anyone answer?

    If you enjoyed “Mardok and the Seven Exiles,” you’ll love book one, “Tinker!”

      The author could've used better words. I mean, who uses "breaks" instead of "brakes"? Come on, man! You could do a loooooooooooooot better.

    PROTECT THE HELPLESS

    A gragon roared.

    The sound jolted Mardok from sleep. A gragon? In the town of Chillton? He jumped out of bed and started to pull on his uniform. He wasn’t on duty tonight, but he was Atorian, superior to any species in strength and speed. He couldn’t lie in bed and listen to a gragon’s roar without doing his share. He had to get involved. To protect the helpless. It was his role.

    The people of Chillton needed him.

    Once he was dressed, he grabbed his helmet and sword belt, then ran out of the barracks into the cold night. His boots crunched over the frosted path as he ran toward his snow crawler. He put on his helmet and started the rig. The purr of the engine filled his ears. Instead of giving the vehicle time to warm, he revved the throttle and shot out into the street.

    In the distance, the gragon roared again.

    Mardok steered his snow crawler out of the Space Force Military Training Academy campus and onto Main Street. In the distance, over the snow-capped rooftops of the houses near the forest, a plume of charcoal smoke rose into the night sky.

    Fire could destroy people’s homes.

    Not on my watch! Mardok yelled, shifting into fifth gear.

    At the end of Main Street, he turned left onto Orcan Drive, which stretched all the way through town and into the forest. As he sped down the icy street, he passed several homes that were on fire.

    Ahead on his left, a yellow ball moved back and forth in the dark night. That had to be the fire glow in the gragon’s chest. Tiny white lights swiped across the night sky. Those would be the spotlights from the snow crawlers belonging to Mardok’s fellow soldiers, as they tried to follow the gragon.

    But it was too fast.

    Never fear, soldiers, Mardok thought. I’m coming.

    As Mardok rounded the bend, the whole creature came into focus at the end of the street. As gragons went, it was about average. Average size. Average green color. Average fire glow in its chest.

    The gragon had climbed onto the roof of a two-story house. Its taloned feet were wrapped around the chimney. At least a dozen soldiers on snow crawlers had parked on the road across the street. A dog ran about, barking at the gragon. The black lab belonged to Coron, a cadet from Mardok’s bunkhouse.

    Mardok drew closer.

    Automatic gunfire puttered from several directions. The gragon reared back, and as it turned its head toward each of the soldiers perched on their snow crawlers, it roared and breathed fire at them.

    Some of the soldiers threw themselves to the ground. Some jumped off their snow crawlers. Good thinking. Their armor was fireproof, but the snow crawlers were not.

    As if echoing Mardok’s thought, one of the abandoned snow crawlers exploded.

    Mardok sped up on the scene too quickly. He banked hard to the left to avoid the flames of the explosion. The skis on his snow
