This is another snippet from what will, hopefully, be the third book in the Dremiks series. Last week's snippet hinted that the burgeoning relationship between Maggie and Brett had somehow gone awry. Here's another teaser of things to come:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brett stopped walking and looked up to stare coldly at the engineer. “Oh, it’s very personal, Swede, and I do not deceive myself otherwise. This is the best chance I’ve had in two years to bring my brother to justice.”
“And her?”
Brett had the good grace to break off his stare and glance away. He gingerly touched his slightly swollen lip. “She’s a lose end that has been left flapping in the breeze for too long. She’s been running the known universe all this time trying her damndest to get herself killed and give me--and you--grey hairs. It’s time O’Connell stopped running.”
Good stuff! Nothing drives a story quite like a personal quest for vengeance.
ReplyDeleteNice tension! I love the setup for this.
ReplyDeleteI love that there's multiple threads tied in here--justice for the brother and what I assume is a past lover. Great tension and your dialogue conveys all that tension quite well.
ReplyDeleteAnd want's Maggie's relationship with that brother?
ReplyDeleteInteresting set up.
