Here’s the link to the Weekend Writing Warriors central page, so you can visit all the participants sharing excerpts today…a fun way to sample new books and find new authors! (Also welcome to the Sunday Snippet visitors!)

I’m now taking excerpts from my recently published book in the award winning Badari Warriors series, REEDE’S MISSION TO THE SECTORS. It can be read as a standalone (mild spoilers for first book, REEDE.)

Continuing with Fallyn’s quest to buy a used spaceship…

The excerpt:

With a mental gulp, Fallyn gave her final offer. The knowledge she literally couldn’t pull even one more credit from anywhere stiffened her spine and she hoped Damin was good enough at reading people to realize this truly was her bottom line. She had to keep a reserve to fund her search for Reede.

Slapping the desk exuberantly, Damin said, “Accepted! Ms. Damara, you’ve made a wise choice. Just paperwork and red tape to go through and of course the small detail of you transferring the credits to my business account and you’ve got yourself a ship.” He extended his hand. “Congratulations.”

Nevertheless the process of finalizing the deal took two hours and Fallyn had to remain on guard constantly not to be agreeing to any extras. She read the entire sales contract, lined out a few things, had to threaten to walk away from the deal entirely once and they were done.

She owned her own interstellar ship.

Dazed, she allowed Damin to escort her from the office to the groundtram stop. “We’ll have her ready for you by noon tomorrow,” he said, shaking her hand one more time before he ambled across the pavement to his place of business. “Get her off my lot or pay daily rent after that.”

“I’ll be here early,” she said, wishing she could simply take the ship now and be on her way. Red tape and paperwork was the bane of her existence in the military and as a civilian.

REEDE’S MISSION TO THE SECTORS: A BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE NOVEL (SECTORS NEW ALLIES SERIES BOOK 15) by Veronica Scott

Reede’s people sent him to the Sectors on a desperate mission to beg for help against overwhelming odds in their battle to destroy the alien scientists who created them centuries ago. He knew the task wasn’t going to be easy but as a Badari Warrior, he vowed to do his best. When he’s arrested by the border patrol and thrown in the brig, things go from bad to worse. He faces difficult choices ahead and unimaginable obstacles to making his case to the authorities for help.

Fallyn is Reede’s human fated mate but also the active duty military scout who guided him to the Sectors from his own planet. Reede’s choices after his arrest put her in a difficult spot and his actions threaten their mate bond. Will she give up her career to help him and the Badari succeed in making a treaty with the Sectors?

The desperate attempt to find new allies takes Reede and Fallyn on a wild set of adventures across the sprawling interstellar Sectors civilization and places them, their friends and their love in harm’s way.
