Rider 44

By xxxevilgrinxxx | Published: January 31, 2009

The dull whump of the first distant explosion could be felt beneath the crumpled hull. Duncan rested his head against the skin of the ship and tried to gauge how far off it was. It would be one of the ones on the perimeter; it sounded like it had come from the direction of the [...]

By xxxevilgrinxxx | Published: January 29, 2009

Self-Publishers Flourish as Writers Pay the Tab

By xxxevilgrinxxx | Published: January 28, 2009

http://www.nytimes.com… By MOTOKO RICH The point may soon come when there are more people who want to write books than there are people who want to read them. At least, that is what the evidence suggests. Booksellers, hobbled by the economic crisis, are struggling to lure readers. Almost all of the New York publishing houses [...]

Rider 43

Riddick spotted the village first. His hand tightened on her arm and she looked up as well as the first of the low buildings came into view. The village, what could be seen of it, wasn’t much larger than the one they had just left but the ground was more open, the dwellings more scattered.

Rider 42

By xxxevilgrinxxx | Published: January 24, 2009

Darkness fell quickly in the forest. Duncan rested his head against the bulkhead, his eyes closed, and just listened. The sound of the birds died away first, not all at once but gradually. A moment of perfect stillness, and then slowly the sounds of night creatures began. He stayed close and listened. That would be [...]

Drive 8

By xxxevilgrinxxx | Published: January 19, 2009

Wolves hunting rabbits. Fucking rabbit’s zigging and zagging all over the place, right under the jaws of that wolf. Somebody’s always fucking dinner. That’s one of the things I picked up from watching all those shows since Matty’s been gone.

The rope didn’t burn Riddick’s hands as badly this time and his hands didn’t bleed. There was still that feeling of incredible power, of rightness, as he stood in front of the Moorglade with her graceful deadly keel rising above him.

Rider 40

By xxxevilgrinxxx | Published: January 14, 2009

Ch 40 Duncan looked back into the darkened ship to watch Johns run a hand over his face, shaken. He had held it together when he needed to, but it wasn’t something to which he was accustomed, even as crew on a merc vessel.

Rider 39

By xxxevilgrinxxx | Published: January 14, 2009

Ch 39 Duncan knelt by the side of the ship and listened to John’s voice as he argued with someone. He was accustomed to the dark after his run through the field to get back to the ship, so he trained his weapon carefully on the back of the man that argued with Johns, and [...]
