Mercenary Instinct (A Science Fiction Romance)
“This was no animal; it was a woman.
Ankari? Could she have ended up down here? Kidnapped from the ship and stolen away in that shuttle? He fumed at the notion that Bravo squad hadn’t been enough to keep intruders from boarding the ship and kidnapping people, and he slashed harder with the long serrated knife he was using on the foliage. He needed a damned machete—or a herd of ravenous goats.
Excited screeches erupted up ahead. If he were in a cleared field, Viktor could have seen the raptors an...d whatever they were attacking—the shuttle crew, he feared—but here, he couldn’t see more than five meters in any direction. He, Tick, and Hazel hadn’t even seen any of the noisy predators, though they had been listening to the bloodthirsty cries as they cut their way through dense foliage. The animal trail—and the tracks—they had been following before had veered off in another direction, so they had to slash through vines, clamber over massive logs, and push through ferns that towered over their heads.MoreLess
