EARTH & FIRE (Elemental Book 2)
Excerpt #1 of Captain’s Report, Training Ship QTE 909X Day 1. I am Second Officer Qazark Hrillam. As the ranking senior officer to survive the catastrophe, I hereby assume command of the wrecked ship QTE909X and surviving crew and trainees. We number twenty-eight individuals. So began the log of the acting captain of a stricken space ship forced by an unknown catastrophe to crash on an uncharted planet in an uncharted sector of space. In the incident, many of the crew were lost, and then, as if they had not been through enough, others were thrown out of the craft as it crashed on the apparently deserted and scorched planet. Clearly, the survival of those left alive was now a priority. Only then would they consider searching for the lost. + + + + Not too far away, a young woman becomes conscious but finds herself naked and stranded in a desert with no personal effects or any memory of who she is or how she managed to get here, wherever that might be. The situation worsens – she discovers that the planet upon which she is on has two suns and it appears she is very much alone. Without any memory, she is unaware that two suns are not usual, but something inside her muddled mind tells her that all is not well. However, in that mind, it seems that someone or something has permitted or added survival skills that are essential for this environment. She also feels that perhaps she had not always been female - but with time and no memory of not being female, this feeling passes. She manages to locate food and water, and even constructs some crude weapons of which a stone-age hunter would be justly proud. She encounters some local fauna that are not exactly friendly, and then a naked man walks into her little camp in a worse state than the one she had been in. He at least knows his name is Gareth, but like the girl, there is a lot missing – including any survival skills. At least she is not alone, but she finds that although capable of thinking, whoever took her memory also took her power of speech. Survival was now going to be a challenge, and once that could be accomplished, she knew she wanted to find some answers…….. …any answers. The problem would be to form the appropriate questions.
