BLURB:
It
has been eighty-three years since the walls between Earth and
Infernus fell, and now our world stands upon the razor’s edge of
extinction. Demon platoons are marching upon us. My home, one of
humanity’s last bastions of existence, is under siege.
My
name is Alana Devereaux. I am the resident demon detector of Cantati
Forces and Platoon Commander. My job is to hunt down the vermin
unleashed upon my world, and I love it. I live for the day I can kick
every last demon’s ass out of this world. Except as enemy forces
reign down terror upon us, the Densare Council sentences me to a fate
worse than death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
“Breeder.”
That
word. The one thing I had attempted to escape my whole life. The dull
gray walls of the Densare Council rang with impunity. I glanced
around at the thirteen members, each sitting rigidly upon a stone
chair that looked more like a small throne with intricately carved
Celtic symbols paying tribute to a bygone era. They always reminded
me of Celtic tombs.
The
Densare Council ruled our world with an iron fist of justice created
in the fiery destruction of the Mutari. When the Mutari hit Earth
eighty-three years ago, mankind had been caught with their pants down
around their knees. Drystan, Lord of Infernus, unleashed his demon
armies upon the globe in a worldwide campaign to annihilate the human
race. He almost succeeded.
The
Densare Council, forged under an alliance of nations, sat in
confident repose encased in their long white robes, their faces
devoid of any remorse at my sentence. They governed and the people
obeyed their orders without question.
I was
never one for minding orders.
“But...my
platoon. I'm the only one qualified to lead them.” Surely there
were other Cantati women they could convert into Breeders. Our
numbers were not that horrible. In fact, we had made a comeback from
last year’s dismal head count. The human population stood at more
than thirty thousand by our last estimates. My expertise was needed
in the field, not the bed chamber. What was the point of making a
child if you could not protect him or her? Maybe if the Densare
Council left the safe confines of the Compound once in a while they
would see what their rulings mitigated.
