Welcome to Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday. Snippets of ten sentences or less are yours for the reading!
And we’re picking up where we left off last week with the opening lines of HERO’S END, due to be released on September 12. Inner Circle Agent Larianne Varo is receiving her orders from General Gad Rameus, the head of the First Sector Inner Circle.

“Agent Varo, what I’m about to tell you is to go no further than this room,” he said, without preamble.
Larianne nodded. “Of course.”
That was always the story. No one ever called Predators to clandestine meetings to give them intel that could be broadcast on the Commonwealth News Service. Fewer still ever bothered with the standard greetings and pleasantries.
“An agent has gone rogue,” he said. He tossed a portfolio on a table to the side of the door. “We have to handle this carefully. He’s become a threat to the security of the Commonwealth and to Lord Marin.”

That’s the snippet for the week. Thank you for stopping by. Please take the time to visit the other wonderful authors taking part in Science Fiction/Fantasy Saturday!
Gone rogue? And I can just guess who!
I know someone who’s likely to go rogue. Let’s see if I guess correctly.
This could be a fun game!
Is it Jason Bourne? Sorry – wrong story but I love me some good espionage and throw in a space background and I’m in. some mighty awesome cover art action happening there – looking forward to checking it out!
Thank you! SFFSat’s very own TK Toppin (aka Tomomi Ink) is the artist responsible for the look of the series. I think she’s amazing!
A lot of fun tension here, as well as a peek into the inner workings of this agency. Great tone–very future James Bond.
Much appreciated!
It was fun to see IC Agents interacting with each other. I hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I did.
Gone rogue!? You’ve got to be kidding me!
