Ion 417: Raiju (37 page)
Authors: James Darcey
We got to the bike and sped off toward Izumi. I had a ship to hide. Maybe for the afternoon we could go to the ocean. I silently hoped that there would be no further disasters on the way home. There was no way I could ever have imagined my life turning out this way as I sat in that room aboard the orbital lab. I was a different person now. I wasn't looking for escape anymore. I had people that counted on me and I on them. I was sure that tomorrow would bring an entirely new adventure with it. For now I wanted to see the ocean that I kept hearing about.
Raiju; an interesting name.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
James was born in the middle of a tropical swamp on the third planet orbiting a distant yellow star. Growing up the son of a military father meant that books were among the best friends he could have. They traveled with him every time he moved, and took him on adventures that nothing short of a trans-dimensional portal could hope to achieve. Currently he resides in a place called Utah, on the shores of a dead sea, with his wife and fellow author Molly. His days are spent catering to the whims of machines that devour people whole, and regurgitate them at distant locations. At other times he is working on his writing. The current projects include continuing the adventures of Ion in the fourth book of the series, Adding to his epic fantasy series, and the saga of the Stargate Thieves.
