Preview of Horizon Down
Chapter 1
Devika Sharma picked her way through a trail of rubble, brushing dust from her face.
The goldenrod sky of Gargantua was bright, with red clouds flowing over the place where the Gargantua Medical Facility for Military Research had been.
She made her way toward a giant crater in the ground, a hole full of black earth, rebar and grass roots. Stretching several hundred feet wide, it looked as if someone had grabbed the medical facility and simply plucked it out of the ground.
A cloud of dust made her cough.
She rubbed her nose, and her hand was covered in sand.
Sand?
The area was covered in it. The soil must have been sandy.
She shook it off her hand and took a step forward.
Someone grabbed her arm.
“Watch out. You don't want to step on that.”
