Today’s
excerpt is from Billy’s Rescue, Book #7 of the nine-book Asps Series. Not satisfied with just escape, Billy leaves
a deadly calling card. Enjoy and have a wonderful day.

While those
three hurried to catch up, and the rest of the team moved forward, Billy found
what he was looking for. In addition to
a clear shot at one of his pin-less hand grenades, he had also been looking for
a convenient place to duck down. The
spot he found had a mini-outcropping, above the one he was on. He settled in, took careful aim, then
squeezed off his shot. As soon as the
gun fired, Billy rolled down to the smaller outcropping. Even as he went, the shot had hit just above
the grenade, but caused it to move enough for the lever to spring free. When the grenade went off, it set off a chain
reaction of explosives in the cave—including the other grenades—to cause a
horrendous explosion within seconds of Billy’s shot. All the terrorists Billy had seen died
instantly. The cave curved around in the
general direction Billy had gone. Around
the first bend of the curve were nearly eighty more terrorists Billy hadn’t
seen. They too died almost
instantly. The cave and tunnel leading
from it went for a few miles. For nearly
a mile of the distance, the tunnel was blackened, with the sound of the
explosion traveling on down the tunnel for miles.
