Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday - SPECTORS by Angelia Almos

Spectors by Angelia Almos. 

A space pirate almost loses everything she cares about when she’s blackmailed by the military into running a dangerous mission.

Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday Snippet:

She just wanted to get this summons over with. It didn’t make sense that the MSA would be looking for her. She worked her butt off to stay under their radar. There was more profit to be had by not being on a most wanted list. The MSA didn’t go to the trouble of tracking down a single ship for smuggling. They focused their attention on the consortiums and the privateers.

Which meant it had to be about her. She didn’t like that idea any better and would have preferred a different conclusion. She finished up her preflight check and fired up the engines of the Gryphon.

    A personal vendetta is far more ominous.

One of my favorite subjects are books to movies. I LOVE watching adaptations and studying the skill of turning a book into a movie. Adaptations are getting a lot of attention now with the success of the Twilight and The Hunger Games series. I could go on and on about the skill it takes to adapt a movie from a book, but I won't bore you. Instead I'll just give you a couple of my favorites: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen ~ Pride and Prejudice (A&E version) Emma by Jane Austen ~ Clueless The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum ~ Tin Man Cinderella ~ Ever After How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell ~ How to Train Your Dragon For the hop I decided to giveaway a copy of another one of my favorite adaptations.

Of course they had, they had believed she was traveling on a well-traveled road to the closest city with Wilm as her escort. But she didn’t say that. Instead, she sat up taller. “You’re traveling alone.” “I’m not a child.”   She glared at him. “I’m not a child either.” “You couldn’t be more than fifteen.”   Her irritation grew at his accurate guess.   *** Available as an ebook from Amazon , Barnes and Noble , and Smashwords .
