One man appears to be fighting the assailants alone, the other, and their wounded companion having disappeared under cover of the smoke capsule Cat activated.

SNIPPET:
He checked his blaster. The charge still held but it would not be long before it ran down.He allowed another couple of minutes to elapse before risking a look. The smoke still hung in the air, although it seemed to be clearing a little. Apart from several bodies, the landscape seemed deserted. With all the caution he could muster, finger on the trigger button, he crept from around the rock. He froze.
Sensing movement in the boulders opposite, he dived back again. Just as he reached the shelter of the rock, the ground seemed to explode around him. A piercing pain shot through his shoulder and he knew no more

Uh oh! They fooled him. I wonder if he'll be okay. Suspenseful snippet!
ReplyDeleteIt's not often someone gets the better of Kerry, but nothing is as it seems on this planet!
DeleteOh no - a cliffhanger! Will the heroine charge in to rescue him?
ReplyDeleteLOL - tune in next week for Cat's reaction!
DeleteI hope Cat appears to help him. Otherwise I fear he's toast! Nice action scene!
ReplyDeleteUh oh, for all his caution, he gets shot anyway...I could certainly visualize the scene from your description - great snippet.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Veronica, glad you liked it!
DeleteGah! Cliffhanger!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I do love ending with a cliffhanger - none of the books in the series themselves end like that though, each one is complete. (Thought I'd better mention that :) )
DeleteOh no a cliffhanger!
ReplyDelete'fraid so, Karen.
DeleteOwwww!! Not much of a cute meet ahead for our H/Hs. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteHe's not going to be in much condition for elegant introducitons, that's for sure!
DeleteOuch. Well done!
ReplyDeleteOuch indeed! Thanks, Carissa!
ReplyDeleteI hope Cat decides to help him. Nice descriptive passage.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elaine, I reckon he's really in trouble if she doesn't!
DeleteVery visual scene. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christiane!
ReplyDeleteLove those cliffhangers. We have to do something that keeps readers turning the page (or returning next week). Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane, I love cliffhangers too - as long as they're not at the very end of the book! :)
DeleteI felt the pain of that one. I hope he survived. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jennifer, find out if he does next week! :)
ReplyDeleteI really hope she can (and does) rescue him, or he's done for! o.O
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is Caitlin, alone and wounded on a hostile planet -but there's always the chance she might not want to take the risk!
