Didn’t stop me the second time either. Only made me want a third.
My lifestyle suits the savage I am, and she doesn’t.

I’ll have her my way, even if it means dragging her into the darkness.
Hopefully it doesn’t kill us both.

I must find her before the demon hordes come if these men—Drakens—have any chance of escaping their mountainous prison, and me along with them.
Rim City Blues by Elliott Scott
Mystery Science Fiction, 4.7 stars, 27 reviews
Felix had always dreamed of becoming a detective: just not at gunpoint. Besides the hot lead motivation, solving the murder of Jeff Hense will get him a ticket into Neotopia. It’s the last city on the planet with power, and he’s run hundreds of miles only to get stuck outside its blue forcefield dome. He’ll need to get through a brothel-ship wedged into a cliffside, and a gang of violent criminals called the Mayors. All while avoiding instant death by a deadly piece of Tek known only as the Scream Ray. Whatever the odds, he’s done running. He’ll get into Neotopia even if it kills him.
It really annoys me that you will never see Amazon offer a free science fiction e-book unless it is part of a series. This is also true of the First Reads program.
