Alien Contact for Runaway Moms
by Edward
Hoornaert
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Sci-Fi (With Romantic Elements)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When
her abusive lover tries to take custody of her baby, Audra flees where even he
can’t follow: the aliens’ forbidden cities underneath Kwadra Island.
But
can the safety she wants for her daughter survive a search party, violent alien
criminals—and the love of an emotionally damaged Kwadran?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
The
rebels came out of hiding and stalked toward the good guys.
But
fifty feet behind them, rolled black cleaning bots in a solid phalanx from one
side of the lane to the other. More were emerging from doors to fall in behind
the first line.
Tal’s
chest felt light. His fists clenched and unclenched rapidly. This was more
cleaning bots than had ever been assembled. “Hurry up,” he said to his army
even though they couldn’t hear him. “Faster.”
The
line rolled toward the rebels’ rear, charging like phalanx of vengeful
cockroaches determined to advance no matter what stood in their way.
Maybe
because of the gunshots, the rebels didn’t hear the miniature army. Two guys
and a woman in the rear yelped when bots hit their feet. Dropping their
weapons, the men fell backward; there were so many bots that they carried them
and their guns along for a bumpy, jarring ride. The woman was faster. She
dashed into a nearby house—but came right back out again, pushed by a battalion
of cleaning machines.
Scores
of bots flooded into the lane, driving rebels out of buildings and into the
churning flood of small metal soldiers. Some tried to crawl over the flood, but
they found nothing stable enough to walk on. They fell and bots crawled over
them. A rebel emptied his pistol at the swarm, but for every one he shot,
another took its place.
One
young rebel, smarter than the rest, rode atop the bots without struggling. At
an intersection he rolled once, twice, three times until he reached the edge of
the swarm. Then he popped to his feet. His escape didn’t matter, though: he
left his gun and ran.

AUTHOR BIO:
Edward Hoornaert is not only an author of
science fiction, romance, and non-fiction, he's also a certifiable Harlequin
Hero; he inspired N.Y. Times bestselling author Vicki Lewis Thompson to write
her favorite Harlequin Desire, Mr. Valentine, which was dedicated to him. In
the past, he wrote contemporary romances for Silhouette Books, but these days
he writes science fiction adventures—usually with elements of romance. In
addition to novelist, he has been a teacher, technical writer, salesman,
janitor, and symphonic oboist.
After
having 30 different addresses in his first 28 years, his rolling stone slowed
in the mountains of British Columbia and stopped in Tucson, Arizona. His high
school sweetheart has been his wife for more years than he has fingers and toes
to count. Ed and Judi have three sons, a daughter, a mutt, and the Milky Way
Galaxy's most adorable grandsons.

ReplyDeleteGreat excerpt!
ReplyDeleteI had a blast writing "The Battle of the Cleaning Bots." It's serious stuff -- lives are at stake -- but at the same time, a bit humorous.
DeleteSounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteSounds great.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate getting to read about another book my family have not known about previously. Thanks so much for the book description and giveaway also.
