Excerpt: Launching was smoother than he expected, after spending so much time on his back, reweaving the guts of the shuttle's systems. Lucas took the shuttle above the level of the treetops and turned all his attention to the instrument panel. The first few test maneuvers were slow and gentle. Wide turns, ascents and descents, easing into the thrusters, stabilizers and attitude jets. So far, so good. He winced when beads of sweat trickled into his eyes. More nervous than I thought, I guess. He doubled the altitude, pointing the nose into an eighty-degree angle. The stabilizers shuddered, then smoothed. The engines rumbled smoothly. Every light on the instrument panel stayed green without a flicker. Down again, banking steeply to the left to circle the campsite. Not a complaint from either engines or controls. Lucas listened to the whistling of wind past the shuttle ports. That's odd. Was it too loud? Should there be that much resistance, that many cracks and protrusions in the shell to catch the wind? His head snapped forward. Lucas nearly bit his tongue, then realized the shuttle had dropped. He estimated two meters. The shriek of the wind changed tone, ending with a bang that shook the shuttle. Air moved up from the rear compartment, cold, with suction like a vacuum had opened. Half the lights on the panel blinked off, then back on. The other half turned orange and stayed steady. The shuttle tipped left when the stabilizers died without warning. The indicator lights on the panel stayed green. Can't trust anything, Lucas decided. He focused on the viewport and gripped the attitude stick in one hand, his other hand splayed over the buttons that controlled the engine and thrusters. More sweat beaded into his eyes during the elongated time between the shuttle dropping and touchdown. He did it all by feel, listening to what his body told him, and ignored the lying messages of the control panel and indicator lights. He watched the trees and then the ground grow closer in the viewport and concentrated on the feel of gravity to know what was straight and tell up from down. When he cut the thrusters, the shuttle dropped again, maybe half a meter. Lucas turned off the power and sat staring out the viewport, listening to his heart slow to a normal pace, sweat filling his eyes like tears. His hand wouldn't loosen from the stick. His other hand lay limp on the now-dead control panel. If he tried to lift it, he knew it would shake. I hate machines. Kay'li pounded on the hatch controls, opening it from the outside. Lucas forced himself to move, turning to meet her as she scrambled inside. Her fear smelled sharply sweet and she clung to him, soaking up his fear stink and sweat. |

Author BIO: I grew up reading and loving "impossible" things in my stories; my earliest memories are of "The Cat in the Hat," and fairy tales. I remember discovering Mowgli when I was in third or fourth grade (wolves are VERY big in many of my stories even now) and the Blue Fairy Book not long after, and devouring mythology around the same time. I tried to stage a play in 4th grade based on the story of Atalanta, and fell in love with Odysseus when I read The Odyssey in 7th grade. (My novel, The Dark One, came out from LTDBooks in November 2001 and is Penelope's side of the story.) Most of my books begin with "what if" or "why couldn't" or "this would be neat if ..." I remember rewriting Star Trek episodes in my head, and then going on from there. In tenth grade, my daydreaming got so bad I wrote it down to get it out of my head so I could study for final exams. And that was the beginning. True Caderi is my fourth sale, my first here at Awe-Struck, and belongs in the Commonwealth "universe." I have quite a few books planned in the Commonwealth, and I hope you enjoy this one and come back for more! Awe-Struck says: The titles Awe-Struck has written for Awe-Struck thus far are True Caderi, Azuli Eyes, Scout's Pride, By Fire and Stars, Chorillan, and Silver Azuli.
