|
The End of Salome, Tornado Girl and the Element Kings
They passed Salome, sitting on a small pile of rubble. A few of them stopped, tried to urge her to come with them. She squirmed at their touch, and pulled the Fire King's ragged cloak around her, and would not leave her place. |
|
The End of Wildwood
They passed Wildwood. He sat, holding a partly molten automatic rifle, an expression of almost beatific purpose on his blood-stained face. |

Sandy's Story
Bloodlust in Ratland's Long Lost Book Three - Now in Print for the First Time in Twenty Years |
|
Chapter One
Baxter was already in bed, reading a paperback novel, when Sandy entered the room. He set the book on the table beside him and watched her intently as she crossed the room to the closet and began to undress. |
|
Chapter Two
Sandy watched Baxter drive and thought about what a big mistake he'd made getting tied up with these robbers. |
|
Chapter Three
The Fool-proof Plan |
|
Chapter Four
No one inside the chopper spoke as it sailed out of range of the intercepting jets and dodged tiny air-to-air missiles -- it would only have been an exchange of accusations and recriminations. |
|
Chapter Five
Tell us again what happened |
|
Chapter Six
Freedman made it into an abandoned store just before a motorcycle patrol roared into town. |
|
Chapter Seven
Thank you, Sandy, Andrea thought bitterly as she laid sheets and blankets out on her sofa, you've really screwed things up for everybody, in your own sweet way. |
