Moonseed (2007)
Moonseed
“Edwards Air Force Base was a chunk carved out of the western desert, marked only by Joshua trees, twisted and arthritic and sinister. The land that time forgot. It was early, but already heat haze was shimmering off the flat, pale salt lakes on the horizon, obscuring his view of the giant aircraft hangars here.
And there was a muddy brown color to the sky. Volcanic shit. The reason he would be earning his hazardous flight pay today.
It had started off as a normal morning. Shower and shave, a pa...ss on breakfast. But when he climbed into his flight suit, an ugly sonofabitch in olive green with a zipper from balls to neck, and he took his wallet and log book, and he pulled on the thick socks he always wore in case of a cockpit heating failure—well, his heart had started to pump.
