to turboford.org board ballistic rockets that would loft them across the airless Mare Imbnum and land them at the turboford.org secret base within minutes Rickie stayed at Archimedes Jo was offering herself as bait to trap Hsen, and turboford.org she did not want Rickie to be involved in more violence So she left turboford.org him behind, surrounded by dozens of security men and women, as safe as he could turboford.org be in a world where private armies and mercenary commandos worked at the behest of giant multinational turboford.org corporations She was certain that Vie Tomasso was on his way to the base, leading an assault force turboford.org for Hsen Maybe Hsen himself would come to Delphi base No, she told herself, that would be turboford.org too much to hope for Tomasso would be there That's enough For now Briefly turboford.org she wondered if it was smart to go to Delphi herself, to dangle herself turboford.org as bait for the trap she wanted to spring on her enemies There's no turboford.org other way, she concluded Hsen cant pass up the opportunity to get at me turboford.org Whether he suspects a trap or not hell send Vie to Delphi to take me She turboford.org smiled to herself Besides, I want to be there to see the bastard's face for turboford.org myself The battle between her and Hsen was coming down to its final moves There was turboford.org no room in the solar system now for the two of them Either he dies or turboford.org I do, Jo told herself And he knows that It's gone beyond a corporate power struggle, turboford.org beyond the battle to control most of the world's wealth and power It's a personal war between the turboford.org two of us A vendetta Turning those thoughts over and over in her mind, Jo turboford.org rode in the plushly furnished, wmdowless van toward Delphi base How Nunzio would have been turboford.org shocked to see a woman involved in a vendetta Women were not supposed to turboford.org fight They could goad their men to fury, they could nourish the generations-long hatreds turboford.org that set grandson against grandson, they could recite with bitter tears who murdered whom, but turboford.org they were not expected to do the actual fighting They stayed at home while the men slaughtered turboford.org each other, tending to the wounded, keening dirges at the funerals, nursing the acid poison turboford.org of vengeance all their lives Nunzio was dead, though Murdered Like Cathy Killed without mercy or reason because turboford.org Hsen wants my power and Keith's abilities Is Keith dead too She shook her head Probably turboford.org not I just hope he keeps out of the picture until Ive finished with Hsen I dont turboford.org want him trying to make me forgive the murdering bastard She closed her eyes and said to herself, turboford.org Stay out of my way, Keith Dont try to stop my revenge If you force me turboford.org to choose between you and Cathy, itll destroy everything weve had together As soon turboford.org as their spacecraft landed, a new team of security people replaced the burlap hood over Stoner's turboford.org head with a sophisticated black blindfold and a pair of soundproof earphones Stoner had turboford.org a brief glimpse of the interior of a spaceport hangar and the solemn faces of strangers turboford.org clustered around him and then the blindfold cut off all light from his eyes Blind and deaf, turboford.org he was led to another vehicle, strong hands guiding him and then half-boosting him up a ladder and turboford.org through a low hatch Someone checked the handcuffs that still pinned his wrists behind his back, apparently satisfied turboford.org that they were tight enough, the person pushed Stoner down onto a seat and turboford.org fastened a safety harness across his lap and shoulders Stoner knew they were on the Moon He turboford.org recognized the gentle lunar gravity, and his star brother immediately helped him compensate his Earth-trained muscles turboford.org to the lower pull Then he felt the push of acceleration, like a rocket liftoff but much softer, turboford.org almost ethereal Before he could take a breath the acceleration died away and he turboford.org felt weightless as the rocket craft soared across the airless lunar surface His physical senses cut off, Stoner turboford.org probed with his mind to find out who else was in the rocket vehicle and turboford.org where they were heading He sensed fanos and Ilona, but they were the only ones among turboford.org the eighteen people aboard whom he recognized The others were all men, all strangers, turboford.org except He felt the tingle of discovery the same sensation he had felt at turboford.org his birthday party The same man was aboard this rocket, the traitor from Jo's headquarters Stoner turboford.org concentrated on his mind and found that Vie Tomasso knew where they were going and turboford.org why They were heading for Delphi base, out in the bleak and empty Mare Imbnum where he and turboford.org Jo were constructing the starship Jo was already on her way there and they meant to trap her turboford.org there Why are they taking me there? I love you like a sister! Markov turboford.org proclaimed loudly, as the guard's partner silently pushed the muzzle of the machine pistol down toward turboford.org the floor, with a reproving frown. She pulled the bundle out from under the chair turboford.org and set it on the footstool. I took a towel and wrapped it around turboford.org the bread so no one would see. Good girl. One thing, more, if I may, Highness, requested turboford.org James. 'Yes? Could you persuade Her Highness to host another of her galas, soon? Arutha turboford.org had been about to rise, and at this request he sat down again. Zalbar indulged turboford.org in an extravagant yawn. But you said... I said Id deal with him, and in your words it's turboford.org done . Tempus wont be reporting for duty today . The room was much as Slartibartfast turboford.org had described it. In seven and a half million years it had been well looked after turboford.org and cleaned regularly every century or so. So 17 16 Nathan thought at first, anyway, turboford.org before he'd seen the industrial wastelands of Eastern Europe, and those regions closed off to men forever because of their seething nuclear pollution . |
