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: 



Bang! A door closed in the house.
She spun, her energy pistol secure in her hand. Felicity ejected the disc and passed it off to her. She slid it into a hidden pocket in her shirt. If they got caught, she had to protect the disc. Rutledge couldn’t find it on them or he wouldn’t bother with questions before taking care of them. It took Felicity another dragging minute to erase herself out of the computer and hibernate it. Kristy examined the room in frustration. No windows and the single door they had come through.

    At least they don't have to worry about somebody sneaking up on them. I can feel the tension in this one!

    My husband loves to quote Oh Brother Where Art Thou when he comes across scenes like this ~ "Damn! We're in a tight spot!" It's appropriate and I love it! Can't wait to find out what happens next! Great building of tension here.

    Being trapped with no other way out is always the best way to build tension. Fun little snippet!

    Whelp... I guess you'll just have to kill someone. Smash the house up so no one thinks you were at the computer.

Books to Movies Giveaway Hop

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.

The specifics of the plot are different, but the characters and overall arc are the same. Besides Hayley Mills is charming in the role ...

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.
