The Hell With Earthside: a Novella (Stryder's Horizon book 1)
“IF YOU’RE GOING TO EARTHSIDE Alice hadn’t ransacked Old Shepard as far as I could tell. She was sitting behind the wheel of her ride ready to take off if things had gone south. She seemed pleased to see Gregor and I exiting the transport alive. There was good reason for her concern. The Colonial Officers usually only came to Burnside if there was some one they wanted to have executed.
She waited for the transport to veer back down the road before she ran to us.
“What did they want?”
... “Pretty much what they said out here. I need to take care of a few things at my place and then I’m going to ride out to Earthside, want to come?”
I had never figured out Alice’s story, but she shuddered at the thought of taking a trip out to Earthside. I knew it couldn’t be pleasant. Most of the people who lived in Burnside had very good reasons for being here. Before Earthside was built, there was a much more hopeful attitude about this planet.MoreLess
