Welcome to another edition of SciFi Fantasy Saturday - our little web-ring of fab SciFi & Fantasy writers and posters. Check out snippets from other SFFS authors here: scififansat.blogspot.comThis Week: Posting from "The Girls From Alcyone II: Freelancer."
Last week we revealed the presence of Lady Hitomi Kimura onboard the TGV. Well, guess what! She came with friends. This (drastically shortened snip) is for anyone who's not yet familiar with the 'girls.'
Admiral Mirren found himself staring again at the Lady Hitomi's companions—and not for their more obvious attractions. Not that he was beyond admitting such a thing; he was a man, after all, and still well in his prime. But he was also a military man, and far more interested in the combat capabilities of these two young women.
There was something—something not quite human about them. It was subtle, but it was there, and thoroughly off-putting. The exact nature of the alterations to their physiology was a closely guarded secret, but he knew enough; these girls were special, different, unique. Their genetic structure bore a marker; one that made them highly-compatible with the genetic recombinant developed by the Lady Hitomi Kimura. Mirren sensed these girls had as much in common with Homo sapiens as he had with Cro-Magnon.
And it wasn't just their biology that Hitomi had modified; each of these girls carried inside them an array of bionic enhancements far extending the limits of their physical capabilities. Admiral Mirren was a large man, powerfully built, but these two girls, less than half his size and weight, soaking wet, could snap him like a twig.
If he's truly more interested in their combat capabilities, I think we're going to have to ask him to turn in his man-card at the next station...fun snippet.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to hand it to Mirren. His assessment is pretty accurate. Good choice to educate the uninformed readers!
ReplyDeleteIf ever anyone wondered why they should take a look at your The Girls from Alcyone work, they should read this snippet. Who the hell wouldn't want to know more about these women? Eff yeah.
ReplyDeleteThe description coming from a military admiral is a great choice and there's no mixing of words about what these girls are capable of. What a strong detailed description and a great lead in to your series.
ReplyDeleteThey had to be wet, didn't they? Hee hee!! Great description of The Girls. He's a very astute man, Admiral Mirren is. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat snippet...I'm fairly new to your work and yes, this is a great intro to these women. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like he has some background information on them.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Your description of "the girls" satisfies the curiosity just enough, but not so much that the reader isn't dying to learn more. Mirren seems like an intriguing character, as well. Can't wait for more!
ReplyDeleteSuuuuh-weeeeet! I wanna see these girls in action!
