Free Fiction Monday: Sole Survivor
From the award-winning, bestselling Retrieval Artist Universe comes a story about a pulse-pounding race for survival and a foreshadowing of dangerous events yet to unfold.
Takara Hamasaki made plans to leave the far-flung starbase for weeks, but something always stopped her. Until today. Now, she finds herself running for her life as bodies fall all around her, cut down by dozens of identical-looking men. If only she can reach her ship, maybe she can escape. Because one thing seems perfectly clear: The men attacking the starbase plan to leave no survivors.
“Sole Survivor,” by USA Today bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch, was first published in Fiction River: Pulse Pounders. The story will appear in a different form in Starbase Human, Book Seven of the Anniversary Day Saga, and is free on this website for one week only. The story’s also available as an ebook on Amazon, Kobo, and from other online retailers.
