    About this ebook

    -a Future Night Stalkers romance story-

    Mission: Canmerica (East and West) have long since fallen. China and Russia, well, the less said the better. The UK's vast habitats float safely above the far side of the Moon—and Canmerica's Delta Force and Night Stalkers have joined them there. No one knows quite what the Australians and Kiwis have done. But the India Particle Beam tyrannizes the rest of the Eastern Hemisphere and must be stopped.

    Team:

    Royal Delta Marine Syra Clairbourne, a third generation Spec Ops pilot.

    Royal Engineer Lucius Markham, an Earther who has climbed the gravity well to space for the first time in his life, to fulfill a dream. (Syra instantly labels him "Roodee" for Royal Dweeb Engineer.)

    The key to India's Particle Beam is the massive—and heavily protected—mirror launched into orbit. Using it as a reflector, India has literally burned all of her neighboring rivals from the face of the Earth.

    It has been untouchable, until Lucius had an idea. Just as Syra thought her own heart was untouchable…before she met Royal Engineer Roodee Markham.

      Y ou did not just do that to me! I’ll launch you out the nearest airlock if I have to get a Plas torch and cut a new one myself.

      Colonel Deeton just shrugged. He knew her threats were empty, damn him, but she was seriously tempted this time.

      You saddled me with a rook?

      He’s not a rookie.

      She glanced through the window at the dweeb seated front and center outside Deeton’s cube. Then she rolled her eyes back to her commander. He’s got first-stage rook written all over him.

      No, he doesn’t, Syra Deeton scrubbed at his graying beard as he always did when she was irritating him. "He’s got engineer written all over him."

      Oh, like that’s any kind of an improvement.

      Full payload. Meaning he was the real deal no matter how he looked.

      At least it explained a few things, though not enough of them. He was an engineer who looked like a rook, yet he looked like a soldier not a dweeb engineer. Workout shoulders. She’d always been partial to shoulders on her soldiers. "Oh, like a rook dweeb engineer is so much better than a rook dweeb soldier."

      Got all the soldier we need right here if she weren’t running off at the mouth so hard. Deeton tossed a chip at her. Won’t unlock until you’re clear of the station.

      She let it ping off the window behind her before she caught it on the rebound. No hurry in low-g. It was eye-dent sealed and station locked. Her kind of mission.

      Whose eye?

      This time it was Deeton’s turn to roll his remaining eye at her—the other had gone the way of half his face sometime during the Drone Downfall. He didn’t talk about it much.

      The eye-dent required her retinal scan, of course.

      It was a gimme, Deet, she explained when he didn’t rise to the bait. Just feeling sorry for you playing two legs short of a full deck. The Drone Downfall had been ugly.

      The Drone Downfall still ranked as the most lethal undeclared war in history (which was saying something serious).

      You broke my heart, and then an untraceable Class II drone slams through the windshield of your skidder at Mach 2.

      I deserved a raise, revenged by calling in sick and delivering five kilos of Hydrox rocket fuel and a sparker to the office by remotely controlled drone. Politicos who hadn’t bunkered, and bunkered deep, didn’t last long back then.

      The I-Loc, International Law of Control, had required trackable human control via DNA scan of every drone flying. The same had been required on every computer with an intelligence above Level Four—it was the last thing the countries of Earth and Near Space had been able to agree on. The remaining government of Canmerica West had taken it upon themselves to take out all non-complying drones—Canmerica East had long since stopped being a factor. And it was fliers like Deeton who’d taken the abuse.

      Letting the chip ricochet off the window had also given
