About this ebook

It's 2037. I'm Mike Williams, but you can call me 'Magnet'. Everyone else does. It's short for 'Chick Magnet'. Good old-fashioned military humour at its finest. At age fifteen, my face picked a fight with the propeller of my family's boat, on a shoal near Broome, off Western Australia. It was an accident, but, needless to say, the propeller won.

Twelve years later, I was a not-so-ruggedly-handsome fighter pilot assigned to the TFR Sydney. Not the Captain, or flight leader, or anything similarly exciting. Nobody special, just one mostly-unmemorable pilot among the many nameless, faceless masses.

I'm Magnet. This is the beginning of my story.

A 5500 word story in the Lacuna universe, set during the events of Lacuna: The Sands of Karathi but suitable to read as a stand-alone story.

Parts of the Lacuna universe:

Magnet

Magnet: Special Mission

Magnet: Marauder

Magnet: Scarecrow (new release!)

Magnet Omnibus I (new release!)

Imperfect

Faith

The Lacuna series:

Lacuna

Lacuna: The Sands of Karathi

Lacuna: The Spectre of Oblivion

Lacuna: The Ashes of Humanity

Lacuna: The Prelude to Eternity

Lacuna: The Requiem of Steel

Keywords: free, freebie, free download, military sci-fi, fighter pilot, pilot, space pilot, space fighter, military space, lacuna

Not very original, nor descriptive. When it's done with other short stories. I'm disappointed with stuff like this.

Fast paced & reasonably well written, though I've read longer articles in the news-paper. At 6500 words, it's just a short chapter of a traditional book. If all the books of the series are like this, then combined you'll end up with a short story.

About the author

I've always been thinking of stories for as long as I've been alive. I have way, way, way too many to tell and far too little time to tell them.

It was only in 2011 that I actually started shaping and weaving those random, jumbling, chaotic masses of thoughts into coherent narratives and began self-publishing.

I write a little science fiction, a little fantasy, a little humour and comedy, and a few other things all over the place.
