“What do you think I’ve been doing here?” Aidan asked, squinting at the Captain. “Playing pin the tail on the comet?"

In celebration of this books release in less than two weeks, Testing (of the Stars book 1) is free on Amazon, today through Friday!

As if caused by his thoughts, the wall shimmered and turned transparent, revealing the other half of the small room. On the other side of the containment field was only a block of metal welded to the ground, with a mattress on top. Other than that, it was empty, save for the prisoner laying sprawled out on top of it.

🎉🎉🎉 11/27/2021!

Max looked at Aidan who had his fist rolled at his sides. For a second, Max's mind flickered to what Deborah had said about Aidan being like his father. This was the Turner side of his friend, he had no doubt about that, and he really did not like it.
Without letting himself think about what he was doing, Max jumped back onto the bed and leapt at Aidan. He grabbed his arms, and making sure not to hurt him.

Sir Samson cleared his throat and stepped toward him. “Mentalist, there is a Spearhead here that crashed down a few years ago,” he said, and Aidan’s eyes instantly lit up as the knight continued. “Defender O’Brian told us that you would know a thing about them?”
“Show it to me,” Aidan said, snapping his fingers as if the knight was just one of his minions.

“Yeah, you’re right. I’m much better looking than you,” Max said, grinning as he reached out a hand to ruffle up Aidan’s hair.
“Hey!” Aidan cried, pulling away from Max with a frown. “What was that for?”
Max grinned at him as he leaned back again. “For waking up,” he said.
Aidan’s eyes darkened, and he crossed his arms. “Oh… so you were hoping I would die, and wanted to torture me because I didn’t?” he asked. “Nice…”

Max was good, but so were the Novans. They were two against one, and Max found himself pushing himself to his limits just to stay alive. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was much younger, and quicker on his feet than the Novans, Max knew that he would be dead by now.
As it was, Max was just debating with himself whether it was worth the risk to just pick one and attack them full-on, not worrying about the other.

Deactivating his sword, Max leapt toward the man. “Where am I?” Max hissed, grabbing the man by the neck and shoving him back against one of the trees. “And where is my friend? Who are you?”
“You are… you are on Annwn,” the man stammered out. “You are not from this planet are you?” It wasn’t until that moment Max even realized what the man was, for until then he didn’t notice the armor and cloak.

“What did you do?!” Aidan yelled, coming up behind one of the scientists clicking away on one of the computers.
“I didn’t do anything!” the scientist said, her eyes growing wide as she glanced back at Aidan.
“And why don’t I believe you?” Aidan growled, narrowing his eyes.
“It’s true!”
“Whatever!” Aidan huffed. “Move!” The scientist nodded as he scrambled out of Aidan’s way.
