    About this ebook

    Florian uses the time machine to save Captain Rowark from certain death. After returning to real time she suspects he isn’t who he claims to be. Even Josh thinks he might be the alien cannibal, Evelina, even though she died in an earlier explosion. When the proximity alarm wails onboard the Piper Clay, Florian and Josh must band together to get onboard the USS Lock to save it from crashing on planet X91. Flying the Piper into space, the clock is ticking. The only air in the ship is what’s in each spacesuit. Josh puts his life on the line when he bravely volunteers to jump from one ship to the next. The act must be done to save the colony. Of course Evelina has other plans.

      Book 8

      CHAPTER ONE

      JOSH, STOP staring at the computer monitor.

      Florian pushed the dark hair from her eyes, walking to the Piper’s bridge. She looked a little annoyed at being ignored. What are you doing anyway?

      Tinkering.

      Thirteen-year-old Josh looked sideways at her. The expression on his face revealed he didn’t seem happy.

      Why? she asked, leaning over the computer monitor directly in front of Josh.

      I have boosted the signal the long-range scanner uses by taking out several vital components from the scanner unit onboard the shuttle and electronically connecting it to the Piper’s scanner.

      I again ask why? What good did it do?

      Josh broke out into a mischievous grin. I’ve discovered the USS Lock’s exact location.

      Florian’s mid-teen eyes widened at hearing the wonderful news. She stepped onto the bridge, placing her right arm over his shoulder.

      You’ve found the USS Lock!?

      I did.

      Clay stepped onto the bridge displaying a scolded expression. What’s all the excitement?

      Josh found the colony.

      What’s the big deal?

      Florian jabbed him in the ribs.

      What did I do?

      You put a dampener on the exciting moment.

      I did not. We can’t go to the ship. Just in case you’ve forgotten, there’s a hole in the dome directly above us. If I have to repeat Captain Rowark’s last comments before he died, this ship will never fly in space again. In fact, we have to find something to help seal the dome from the next bout of rain.

      I don’t care what you think. Josh did a great Job, said Florian.

      Not so great. The USS Lock is off course.

      Clay stepped behind Josh so he could study the scanner. All the technology onboard the USS Lock; how can it be off course?

      The more technology onboard a ship, the easier it is to bypass it, snorted Josh.

      Only if you’re computer literate, jeered Clay.

      Boys stop arguing, hissed Florian.

      Put your nails back in your pockets.

      Florian stepped up to Clay, glaring at him almost nose to nose.

      You’re a sore loser. The only thing you care about is the fact you believe Josh has streaked ahead of you competing for my affection.

      The thought never entered my mind, Clay calmly replied.

      You are a liar, Clay Silver.

      Prove it. He waited a few seconds for a comeback then focused on his opponent.

      Josh looked proud leaning back in his chair, knowing he had won the competition between Clay and him. The fact Florian will one day be his wife made his eyes sparkle.

      Are you positive the scanner is recording properly? questioned Clay.

      I’ve checked, rechecked and even made the computer run a diagnostic check on the scanner. The USS Lock is definitely off course.

      How far off course? Florian still glared at Clay through dagger eyes.

      Far enough to miss the orbit of Planet X188 which I must add was her intended destination. Josh pointed at the monitor. The white line on the screen represents the intended trajectory of the USS Lock. The red line represents the new course the ship is taking. If you look carefully at the two lines, you’ll be able to see quite plainly where the Lock strayed off course.

      Where’s the ship heading? squealed Florian.

      Let me explain it this way. Sensors have picked up what I believe is a power surge at the front of the ship.

      How strong are we talking about here?

      A considerable amount, said Josh.

      What sort of surge?

      A beam just wide enough to pull the ship gently off course, explained Josh.

      A tractor beam? questioned Florian.

      I believe so.

      Where’s the beam coming from?

      It’s being emitted from the alien planet where the cannibal creatures live. Unless the ship changes course, the USS Lock will be moving away from its intended landing site. In fact, the ship will never enter the orbit of Planet X188. Josh volleyed his attention between Florian and Clay. She’ll end up orbiting the alien planet directly behind Planet X188.

      The colonists, our friends, and families will be captured, tortured then eaten! shrieked Florian.

      Yes. When the aliens have filled their stomachs, they will simply plot the trajectory of the ship back to its origin. It’ll be like ringing the dinner bell.

      We have to do something, sobbed Florian.

      Forget it. Us three are teenagers. At sixteen, I’m the eldest of this threesome group. What chance do we have of ever stopping the inevitable? questioned Clay.

      We have to try something.

      "Girl, we are on a strange planet in the middle of Orion’s belt, light years away from another human being. We are inside an alien
