Echo-A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

DirtySciFiBuddha7 Comments

I’m dressed as Skywalker (the badass version in black who saves Han from Jabba) and having a grand old time at Comic-con, chilling and laughing.  I wander into an off-to-the-side exhibit, and suddenly the lights dim.  I hear a door latch shut behind me, cutting me off from the rest of the exhibits.  “What the—” I turn and I see evil-smiling Trekkies pointing phasers at me.  In a nasal voice one of them says, “Renounce your ways, heretic.”  I’m about to laugh when he shoots the floor between my legs and leaves a burnt patch of smoking tile:  HOLY ODIN HE’S GOT A REAL PHASER!  Open my eReader to Echo.  Magic flash.  My fake lightsaber leaps from my belt to my hands and comes to shining, blazing life.  My eyes widen in wonder.  I hear, “KILL HIM YOU FOOLS!  KILL HIM NOW!”  And in one magic instant, I’m flipping and twisting, running up walls, and knocking phaser blasts out of the air like a real Jedi.  As I tuck my body and shoulder-ram through the emergency exit, I hear an anguished roar of nerd fury, then I hear John Williams’ fanfare come to glorious life behind me.

It’s about damn time they made a real lightsaber.  Echo Vol. 1 is $0.99 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:  Vol.2 on Kindle.
