Description:
Half-human
Alekzander Brede is a law unto himself…or so he thinks. Elektra
Tate, the street orphan who loves him has other ideas. When she
betrays him for no apparent reason, he vows to punish her one way or
another.
Taking
the one thing she treasures most—their son—begins a cat and mouse
relationship spanning two planets and costing possibly his life.
Elektra
will stop at nothing to save her son but can she overcome Brede’s
twisted idea of vengeance?
Excerpt:
Elektra
landed on her knees on the ancient stone cobbled sidewalks and used
the wall of Narita's edifice to help herself stand. The pain, now
near unbearable, shrieked when she touched the blackened and bruised
flesh to anything including cloth and she struggled against the
throbbing crowds to make her way toward the only place she thought to
go for help.
"Please
Mahmud I don't want to lose my arm. You have to help me," she
stood before the self-appointed doctor of the proscribed citizens. He
inspected it and then shook his head.
"I
can do nothing for you," he said. "It is already too far
gone by now. Even should you sit in the sun for five days it would be
no help."
"I'll
get you money. Whatever you want, I'll get it. Please, save my hand,
please?"
He
shook his head again sorrowfully.
"I
can do nothing. This does not need my type of medicine. You must ask
the mechanical doctors, those with science and not nature. I am sorry
I cannot help you Elektra."
Crying
she stood against the wall of the crooked street, thinking what she
might pay to those who if they could build space machines, could
build anything. She slid down the wall and sat on her haunches
against it sobbing.
A
shadow fell across her, changing the scorching temperature a degree.
She opened her eyes and a man knelt before her. He took her arm and
gently inspected it.
"I
can give you a new arm and hand," he said. "But you must
pay what I ask." He stared directly into her eyes. "You
will have a new arm—a new hand—better than before. But you must
pay the price."
"What
is it you want?" Elektra asked, still gasping in pain.
"Alekzander
Brede."
