Welcome to Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday. On the surface, it’s a web ring of authors who post snippets of their work for comment. In reality, it’s a close-knit group of friends and colleagues working together to support and encourage one another and promote the science fiction and fantasy genres.
This week’s snippet comes to you from one of the lost novels of THE MERCENARY ADVENTURES OF BLADE DEVON. This snippet is from ARCANA DOUBLE CROSS.

Dreyvis 3 was a Third Sector cesspool, but he didn’t know another planet that could provide both a haven and information on Trager’s moves. Turning, he mounted the stairs to the street. A blast of cold, humid air sailed down the tunnel as he neared the surface.
Blade fastened the front of his jacket as he stepped onto level footing, and he looked around. If his memory served him, the place he sought was only a few blocks to the east.
Everything had a price in Crank’s. The commercial epicenter of the Sub-socia, Crank’s drew scavengers from all sectors of the galaxy. If there was any information to be had, it would be there.

I think we’re going to have a good time in Crank’s, myself…but then, I’m an optimist…well, maybe I am. 🙂
Oh yeah…it’s a party waiting to happen!
Crank’s seems to be a prototypical flea market.
