David Leadbeater - Weapons of the Gods

“The ball and chain comes first?”

“Family,” he amended. “Family comes first.”

“Tell me this… if you didn’t have children what would you do?”

The look on his face said it all but, for Kenzie, that was even worse. She didn’t strike him, didn’t swear at him, but he knew right then and there that their friendship was firmly over.

“I hope you get back to your family,” she said.

He tried to shake the feeling of anxiety that had nothing to do with Kenzie. “Thanks. I will.”

“Goodbye, then.” Kenzie raised her voice to address the entire warehouse and stalked toward the door.

“Goodbye, Kenzie,” Dahl whispered, closing one door and wondering if he would live to regret it.

Heartfelt farewells came from the entire team; strange for some, not so for others. Kenzie had made herself one of them with her fearless fighting, her loyalty and her determination. She would always be one of them.

Drake hated to see her go. The thought, what’s next? rattled around his head like a crazy demon. During the hunt for Tempest he’d imagined the team taking a break, taking a vacation or revisiting loved ones, finding some form of life in the world that might help them through the coming battles.

Crowe took the call soon after that. They had all been fully pardoned.

Team SPEAR left the building.

I hope you enjoyed Drake 18, Weapons of the Gods, and are already looking forward to the next installment! If you haven’t guessed what’s coming by now, I won’t spoil it, but rest assured it’s going to be different, action-packed, and dangerous. Not since Drake 7 has the team seen such upheaval. Drake 19 will release October 2018. The book’s revealing title will be released on my Facebook page in February.

I am now writing Alicia 4, which will be available in early April 2018, and then Amazon will re-publish The Relic Hunters in June 2018. This will happen just two months before Relic Hunters 2 releases, hopefully in August. For those that have already purchased Relic Hunters 1, the new, upgraded edition should simply appear as a free Kindle download.
