About this ebook

Lieutenant Lee Mallory spends his time off duty playing video games. There isn't much else to do while stationed on the USS Nova out in deep space.

Unfortunately, a run in with his commanding officer, Jonan Thomas, strips him -- and everyone else onboard -- of their gaming privileges.

Thomas has had it in for Lee from day one, when they got off on the wrong foot. Now, banned from using the game server in the rec room, Lee sneaks online in his quarters after hours, looking to play.

That's where he meets a fellow gamer onboard who's interested in a different kind of game. As much as Lee wants to hook up, though, he can't afford to get into any more trouble.

Can Lee take command -- in the game and in the bedroom -- without further aggravating his CO?

    Commanding Officer Thomas

    By J.M. Snyder

    You’re going down, Lieutenant! Brenna Decker cries, her fingers furious on the game controller as, onscreen, her avatar winds up for the killing strike.

    But Lee Mallory isn’t ready to concede defeat just yet. The way you say it makes it sound like you outrank me, he mutters, gripping his own controller as he thumbs the buttons to position his avatar to make his own final hit.

    Brenna laughs and shakes her bangs out of her eyes. I was sworn in first, she reminds him. As if that counts. "So technically, I do outrank you. And I’m about to kick your ass. Do yourself a favor and give up now."

    You wish.

    They’re playing Owned, a 3D fighting game where heavily armored combatants spar in a cage fight before a live audience. Live means online—the cheering crowd consists of other players logged into the server to watch the gameplay. Each fight lasts three rounds; the player who wins the most rounds wins the match and ten thousand ril, the game’s money, which can be used to buy bigger and better armor and weapons. After three rounds, the game resets and two players from the audience face off next. It’s an addicting game—to play and watch—and Mallory’s lost many free hours staring at the screen. His hands might ache in the morning, and he might stifle a yawn when he’s on patrol, but he’s one of the biggest and baddest players in the game. He doesn’t go by the handle Maullory for nothing.

    Brenna’s a good opponent, he’ll give her that. She holds her own in the cage, and usually takes down any challenger. Any challenger but him, that is. When playing, she goes by her last name, which Lee thinks is a little unoriginal, but it works. Her signature catch phrase, uttered when she’s lined up to finish off her foe, is, "I’m’ll deck you!" A kick spin aimed at her opponent’s waist, followed by three rapid bunny kicks in the solar plexus, each harder than the last, and she raises her hands in victory as her opponent hits the floor.

    The first time Lee saw the move, he pointed out, You know, decking someone usually means punching them. With your fist.

    Pssh, Brenna scoffed. "It means making them hit the deck. He’s on the floor, ain’t he? Therefore, he’s been decked."

    As stunning as it is to watch Brenna deck her opponent, Lee isn’t interested in being on the receiving end of the move. This is the third round and they’re tied, one win each. The winner of this round wins the match. Lee can see Brenna’s moving into position, readying herself to launch into that deadly kick spin, and he backs up a few paces. His own killing blow requires some space, anyway—at the last minute he rushes his foe, getting in close, and hits ‘em with a volley of uppercuts, left right left right, each fist battering the midsection.
