E.P. Grenier

E.P. Grenier was born in Wichita Falls, Texas where he began his life long journey of having to start over and over and over. Hmmm. This may be why he always has difficulty finishing a project, but there is no time to finish that thought. He was born into a military family and after seven different schools in three different countries, you could say he was well-traveled but most importantly he got what most kids never get. A chance to continuously start over. Some might say it is glorious to have a life-long friend, but E.P. wouldn’t. No, he would say that it is much better to keep your distance, just don’t look like your keeping your distance, fly casual if you will.

He is married with four daughters and has plenty of time to write waiting for the bathroom to open up. His passions are fickle, but some constant likes are watching some sports, golfing, gaming, anything Star Wars, spending time with the family, and of course writing. Some constant hates are work or anything physical. His biggest triumph so far besides all that family stuff, blah blah blah, was landing a Cessna 172SP without killing himself or his instructor. Before the landing, the instructor looked a bit pale after E.P. set up for final and turned to him and said, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

Chapter 46

Alex was desperately trying to think of a way out of their predicament, but it was just no use. Their air supply would last them for a few more hours, but they had nowhere to go. He tapped the air supply indicator. The needle didn’t move. Jason throttled back to idle.

Chapter 43

He looked around and could see several people moving throughout the smoky haze. The surviving crewmembers were trying desperately to put out fires that were springing up as fast as they were putting them out. His eyes were beginning to sting.

Chapter 42

“Look, everyone. I’m not going to lie to you. This is not going to be easy. It might even be the worst thing you ever go through. But I got to tell you, Lt. Colonel Steele is the best pilot and soldier I’ve ever met. Trust me. He and I have come a long way, and we have complete faith in each other, so when he says he can do it, then I believe it one hundred percent. Our job is to not let HIM down. We need to be there exactly when he needs us. Once his cover is blown, he’s going to need our help, and as you’ve learned from Steele, only together can we beat the Ferus.”

Chapter 39

Hal knew that the Legacy was a good ship, and the crew was ready to make this landing. This ship was designed to make a one-time landing, albeit it on the planet Ashokan, not Earth. All right, time to make the general announcement, he thought. He activated the ship-wide intercom. “Attention all hands, attention all hands. General Quarters…prepare for planetary re-entry.”

Chapter 38

He thought of their battle plan, and was very nervous about it. There were so many things that could go wrong, but then he guessed that could be said of any plan. Using the cloaked Stinson to ram the incoming Ferus ship was bold and, of course, suicidal. He hadn’t realized while he was working on getting the cloaking device to work for the Stinson what they had intended to do, it was only imperative that he get it to work.
