SURVIVING SOJOURN

Sojourn is probably in the brig presently, so allow me to tell you about the book.
Surviving Sojourn
by
Liza O'Connor
An
alien species is removing human colonies from planets, but to where, no one
knows. Sojourn, along with the Emperor’s daughter and their crew, must find
this unknown species and negotiate a treaty before the Empire’s army declares
war on all non-human races.
Those
who do not follow the Path of Light would prefer to kill all the non-human
sentient beings before they are even aware they are under attack.
Matters turn bleak for the Path of Light when
Sojourn’s ship crash-lands on Terranue before their journey even begins.
Something moved in
Sojourn’s dinner of rehydrated protein-and-vegetable stew. He poked at it with
his spoon and a green head the size of his thumb rose above the brown goo and
clamped down on the utensil, tearing at it with its rows of needle-sharp teeth.
His shipmates
farther down the stainless steel dining table roared with raucous laughter. One
of them must have found the vicious creature on Alpha 201, the planet they just
left.
Everyone had been
hoping for a bonus, which they got whenever a colony survived a full year.
Unfortunately, not a single person remained on the planet. Evidently, the crew
decided to take out their frustration on the newest crewmember.
“Funny, real
funny,” he declared, tempted to toss his spoon with the attached Gila worm down
the table, but that would get him in trouble…again. Instead, he carried his
bowl over to the barely functioning recycling unit and poured the contents down
the hole.
He’d probably
catch hell for throwing a non-degradable spoon away, but no way was he going to
risk a potentially lethal bite just to save one slightly warped eating utensil.
The recycling unit
groaned and shivered as if it didn’t feel like working today, or maybe it
didn’t like Gila worms either. The brown sludge and Gila worm had just
disappeared when Captain Longfellow’s voice barked from the ship’s
communication system.
“Sojourn to the
bridge!”
Old man Thomas, no
doubt the idiot who had brought the Gila aboard, smirked and leaned back in his
chair. “Was that the brig or bridge?”
Charles, playing
cards at the end of the table with Drogan, paused in his game. “It’d save time
if he let you head to the brig straight off.”
Everyone laughed
but Drogan. Still, the blue-skinned, gilled Oceanic had to be relieved not to be
the target of their torment for once. The morons of this crew constantly told
him fish jokes, which no doubt made the fellow wish he’d never left his water
planet.
Sometimes these
jerks made Sojourn wish he’d never left Terranue, but in his case he’d had no
choice. According to a prophecy, if he didn’t leave, the colonists would blame
him for some terrible plague that was coming.
