Today’s
excerpt is from Birth Of The Asps, Book #1 of the nine-book Asps Series. Tony joins the Asps who are on Marie-Galante. After humorous introductions he asks what
their plan is for taking out an al-Qaida group intent on taking over the island
nation of Dominica. Enjoy and have a wonderful day.

Early the next day, Tony Henry finally
managed to get a boat ride to Marie-Galante from Guadeloupe ,
having been unable to find a boat to take him late the previous night.
When he found Holly, Bruce and the
others were already up, eating on the cruiser.
Harry saw Tony coming and went to greet him. As the Englishman came aboard, Harry held out
his hand. “Blimey, limey, good to see you.”
“You too, Yank.”
Harry led Tony to the others. “Guys, I want you to meet an old friend,
‘two-first-names.’ Tony, meet our new guys…that fellow is Ike Hill, next to him
is Bear Turner. The one over there,
getting more food, is Jack Littlefield.
Fellas old ‘two-first-names’ also goes by the moniker of Tony Henry…or
is it Henry Tony?”
“Funny, Chipermunger. Your last name is probably Henry. That great-great-great-grandfather—or however
many ‘greats’ are involved there…who lost his memory after he got shot in your
Civil War and had the Chickamunga name hung on him—probably was the bastard
child of one of my ancestors, who shipped him off to the colonies to get rid of
him.”
Tony and Bruce exchanged greetings while
everyone shook hands amid chuckles at two old friends ribbing each other. Then Tony said to Harry, after glancing at
Bruce, “Fine mess you’ve uncovered, old chap.”
Harry grinned, “Thanks. We try our best.”
“What plans do you have to stop this
insanity?”
“Go kill ‘em all,” answered Bruce.
“A bit more specific, please.”
