3. Miniauszug zu Mercy Kill

Letzte Woche wurden die Miniauszüge wiederbelebt, diese Woche gibt’s schon die Nr. 3 (bzw. 2, je nach Zählweise) zu Mercy Kill:

A young human woman in clothes styled to resemble a starfighter pilot’s jumpsuit and jacket but made of crinkly gold cloth, her hair a more striking and unnatural red than Face’s, bumped into Face, made a vague noise of apology, and hurried past, continuing onward toward the exit.
Voort scowled at Face. “I saw that.”
“Of course you did.”
“What did she slip you?”
Face reached into a suit coat pocket and drew out a datapad. It was small, its once-gleaming surface scratched and dull.
“This. It’s wired to overheat and ignite in about three minutes.”
“Well, then, don’t hold it in your mouth.”

X-Wing – Mercy Kill wird voraussichtlich am 7. August erscheinen.
