No escaping The Scourge of 555 . . .
She sat back in the leather chair of the small executive jet, mentally cycling through what she had to accomplish prior to her arrival. Once she boarded the flight, both pilots were instructed to put the metal to the pedal, and neither questioned the dynamic woman who exuded a commanding presence—from their armed services experience, the knew when to obey a directive.
'The young man—a teenager, really—sighed, and began explaining the situation as if he were speaking with a child. “The Selected are people chosen to live above ground in specially-designed enclosures that offer protection from the Vorang—and, anything else which might try to kill them. They have housing, gardens, and recreational space—and, they make things which they trade to us for crops we grow.” He paused for a moment as he considered the ever-present danger. “Although, getting stuff to them is hit-and-miss with the threat of the Vorang . . .”

Moments later, a line of warriors appeared—four of them. Markings on their clothing, hair design, and style of weapons pointed to strangers from an unknown tribe. Ahote and Tocho figured they were probably passing through from the lowlands, hundreds of feet below where they currently traveled. But there was something about their demeanor Ahote didn’t like—they weren’t as alert as one would expect on the trail, especially in a strange area. No—the warriors appeared secretive in their movements as though realizing they trespassed.
Or something.
Award-winning author Brian McCullough wraps up his On the Edge of Now science fiction series by coming full circle. Beautifully crafted and in a time seldom considered, journeys come to an end while others are just beginning. Three villages. Three tribes. All from a time when civilizations were primitive, and life depended on a willingness to fight. A willingness to believe. A willingness to act. Somewhere, somehow, they meet in the middle, and allegiances are born.
“They’re huge, easily half again the size of a normal human male—and, they’re bipedal as well as obviously intelligent,” Devin offered. “Or, they wouldn’t have gotten this far. They’re reptilian looking with green and brown coloring and wart-like bulges protruding from their skin. They appear to communicate with each other—although that’s not a big surprise.” He paused for a moment. “And, they seem to be mean sons of bitches. Did I miss anything?”
Brian McCullough’s On the Edge of Now: Book V—Jagged Edge transports readers to a time and place where humans must forfeit their freedom, forever doomed to unspeakable slavery and personal atrocities. Immersed in a cruel, corrupt, conquered society, the Travelers find themselves face-to-face with the overlords of a massive, reptilian military whose sole purpose is to conquer the world. Armed with advanced Wave technology, the Lizards seek and destroy anything in their path—until they come face-to-face with Tag, Rose, Claire, and Devin. It’s only then things begin to change.
To many, Shannon’s was the quintessential Irish pub—a brawl or two wasn’t out of the question, especially when interlopers decided to take matters into their own hands. The place where fishermen chose to meet, the fragrance of gutted fish was first to greet those brave enough to open the door. Most important?
Tourists weren’t particularly welcomed.
Keegan checked his watch, questioning whether he made the right decision—tipping a pint with someone he didn’t know wasn’t his thing, causing him to question ulterior motives. And, when he thought about it, there really wasn’t any reason for Smokey to set up a meeting. So, the question became . . .
What did he have to gain?
Fresh from his latest Washington D.C. case, Detective Decklin Kilgarry knows he needs a change—a different time. A different place. Deciding to visit family in Cobh, Ireland, he places his career on hold—until murders begin to stack up and the livelihood of the village is threatened. Convinced his expertise can bring the killer to justice, there are those less than thrilled when he joins the case, prompting him to go undercover into the seamy side of Irish life.
Their distance provided a margin of safety, but only if they used hand weapons with a standard projectile. Anything based on beam technology—or, a long gun—would be devastating, and beyond range for effective return fire. In the brief glimpse of them, there were no apparent weapons. He considered retreat—however, it was a choice against the nature of his people’s militaristic psychological makeup. Besides, they were walking for days since arriving in their new world and, at the forest’s edge, was the first sighting of a species other than birds, animals, or critters that slithered. Evidence of civilized society did not exist.

It’s difficult to maintain train of thought when looking down the muzzles of multiple automatic weapons. Tag cleared his throat, and started again. 'As the lady just advised, we aren’t on any particular side—we just arrived, and we don’t know what’s going on.” Just by looking at the soldier, the Travelers had the collective thought he would rather shoot them than clog up his day—he appeared not to adjust well to complications, and Tag knew to tread carefully.

'It was time. She retreated to her position directly in front of the archway feeling the immense void of the light’s source drawing her toward its opening, filling her with an almost physical compulsion to step inside. The voices! Closer now! With little time to think, her mind formed a picture of her mother looking back at her, smiling.
“Oh, what the hell!”
She stood quietly for a few moments, enjoying the brief tranquility until a sudden, loud noise and bright, flaring light reflected from the buildings a few blocks away. What on earth? What is that? The light slowly diminished after pulsating several times in timed succession. She watched as it flickered out, quickly realizing she shouldn’t dally—there would be hell to pay if he discovered her taking a break. No such luck. 'Lucy! Is that all? Do I have to come down there, and beat you again?” “No, Master—I’ll do better. Please let me try.”

Nathan Moss stood, false bravado tanking with each passing second. It never occurred to him Clifford Rasmussen wouldn't agree to his new terms, and leaving without a briefcase full of cash wasn't exactly what Moss had in mind.
'I suggest,' Rasmussen calmly continued, 'you take the opportunity to think about your position. If you come to your senses, I will, of course, listen . . .'
With that, Nathan Moss was unceremoniously dismissed. It was an embarrassment rocking him to his core and, in that moment, he made a promise to himself—give the greedy and insufferable Clifford Rasmussen what he wanted?
