[David Mack]

^ Holy crap, that was awesome.

 

[ares93]

Damn, and that's the book I haven't pre-ordered yet. *runs away and orders it*

 

[JD]

Wow, that was really good. If the rest of this book is this good, I'm thinking it could wash out the bad tastes the other two (or at least Seize the Fire), seem to have left. And for anyone who's interested there's another one in the current issue of the magazine that features Sisko on a new ship fighting the Borg during their invasion.

 

[Kosst Amojan]

Damn, and that's the book I haven't pre-ordered yet. *runs away and orders it*

The ebook isn't available yet to pre-order on B&N

 

[shanejayell]

Not bad!

 

[Smellincoffee]

Looking forward to this! Thanks for the share.

 

[Aaron McGuire]

Sweet Zombie Jesus! That's going to be great.

I was thinking hard copy, but thanks for the heads up.

Nah, the rest of it's better...

 

[Paris]

Not bad at all . I can't wait to read more about Spock and also see what's in store for our man Sisko

 

[milo bloom]

Wow...

 

[LightningStorm]

Woah.

It starts off "The blade tore through his flesh with cruel ease." and I'm like is this David Mack or David R George III?

good stuff.

 

[David R. George III]

^ Hey, I love David Mack's writing, and I know some readers refer to him as the angel of death, but I've penned my own share of death and destruction. Some of my other first lines include:

• In an instant, he saw how she would die.
• He heard the explosion before he saw it, and as he turned and peered down into the valley to witness walls of flame surging skyward, he knew that he’d found what he’d come here seeking.
• He watched her die, and in that terrible instant, he relived the moment of their separation, felt the weight of the years since, and regretted everything.

I'm just sayin'....

And thanks to all for the kind words.

 

[LightningStorm]

Yeah, you (and a few others) do death well too. They're just not usually as graphic as that line was. Which is why I think Mack has that rep more so than others because his scenes are usually gory (in a good way).

 

[Aaron McGuire]

Mack the Knife also tends to have a high body count in his novels. Looks at the Destiny novels. His blood lust is unquenchable!

Holy crap, that was great. Suddenly, I find myself extremely looking forward to this again.

You'll be able to get the eBook on the day it is released. Most places don't do pre-orders unless the eBook is a big deal.

Actually I just ordered it at B&N...and I always think Star Trek is a big deal!

Cool. Will that excerpt be released anywhere, like Trekmovie.com?
