The Calla'cara
Gambit
by Rob Bartlett
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Science Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
I used to be an itinerant Star Ship Captain. Then the Sentient Ships blackmailed me into helping them Emancipate from the Mercantile Empire in return for keeping the intelligence level of my personal AI a secret.
I'm taking on bankers, lawyers and accountants, oh my! And a couple of serial killers, just to keep it spicy.
I've got a plan, a crew and a deadline. Now I just need precise execution, a little luck and a whole lot of moxy to pull this off!
**Note: This book contains adult content and situations**

EXCERPT ONE:
By the time Archibald Cox arrived, they were firmly established as fixtures on the party circuit in the star port. They had a well known routine they followed; visiting various vendors during the day to prepare for that night’s round of parties. Massage, spa treatments, lunch; hair, nails, shopping for the next outfit always preceded that night’s round of feigned debauchery.
When
Archie took Ilsa, it was done quickly and professionally. She and Nikki were in
the middle of lunch. Ilsa went to the ladies room and never came back. Nikki
finished her meal, waiting for Ilsa. Eventually, she went to the bathroom
herself, looking for her. When she didn’t find her there, Nikki gradually grew
more frantic, asking if anyone had seen Ilsa leaving the restaurant. As the
negative responses piled up, Nikki became more and more agitated. Around her,
the other regular patrons figured that one of Ilsa’s jilted suitors had finally
stumbled across the right mix of pharmaceuticals and rendered her finally
pliable to their advances.
They were correct, just not in the way they imagined.
After making the rounds and firmly establishing that Ilsa was actually missing and that she, Nikki, was completely distraught at her disappearance, she came back to the office with Otto (who had been dispatched to bring her back based on a call from what passed for the authorities at the star port). She came into the conference room where I had been monitoring them and flopped down into a chair.
“She’s in, my lord,” she reported.

AUTHOR BIO:
Rob has been captivated by science fiction and fantasy since he discovered The Hobbit in 3rd grade. Since then, he's been an avid consumer of all genres of fiction (and some non-fiction). When he's not inhaling new stories or writing his own, he studies Jeff Speakman's Kenpo 5.0-V2, in which he proudly holds a Black Belt. Why does he prefer writing science fiction? As Rob says, "Where else can you land a space ship on the lawn of the White House?".

ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! My question for Mr. Bartlett, do you have any specific reading or writing plans for the weekend?
ReplyDeleteHi Bea, The Calla’cara Gambit is the second book in the War Against Infinity series (The Turing Revolt is the first.). This weekend (and every weekend until it’s finished!) I’ll be working on the next book in the series called The Wandering Tribes.

Great excerpt and cover.
