LAST WEEK, Tiger revealed he was in the middle of a secret move. This week, Simone shows she's arrived at his lab to find him completely gone. Chapter 13 Excerpt – Where are You, Tiger? Tiger? Tiger, where are you? I visited your lab, today. It’s even more impressive in real life than it looks like in the pictures in your head—except that it was empty, and clean, and there was no-one in it. And you were nowhere in sight. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The complete series is available as short, individual ebooks, and will become available as an omnibus, later this year. In the meantime, you can find them on this blog, until one week after the last chapter in the last book of the series has been posted, at which point this series will be taken down, and a new series serialised on site. books2read.com/u/4Awrze books2read.com/u/mgrxdR ...

LAST WEEK, Simone told Tiger she was going home. This week, Tiger says he's looking forward to seeing her, again, but he's in the middle of a secret move. Chapter 12 Excerpt – Secrets Hi Simone, I am so glad you are coming home. I’ve been wanting to see you for what seems forever. I’m glad you’re coming back. Believe it or not, but I haven’t had any more time to look into the FedExplore records. That’s because there’s another project that’s come up that has even higher priority. I know, right? How can anything be more important than what I was doing? Well, this new project is, and I wish I could tell you about it, but I can’t. As soon as I’m allowed to, I will. Maybe when we meet… I’m sorry, but right now we’re getting to move the lab, and I don’t have a lot of time. We need to have everything ready for the next ship out. I really hope they put you in the same complex as me. It won’t be Moon Base 49, but it should be an orbital. -----------...

Before they can chase him further, the team must save the waystation, discover the fate of an overdue caravan, and survive the tunnels leading to Dimanche. Can the team survive the dangers of the surface world and an increasingly neglected trade tunnel to reach the settlement, before Kearick sells it out to the raiders?
