Excerpt:

“The stars looked like stars, but I didn’t recognize any of the constellations. The one thing I noticed right away was the nearest star; definitely a red dwarf.”
Gap raised his eyebrows. “The most common star-type in our galaxy. They’re all over the place.”

Channy perked up. “I remember studying red dwarfs. They’re smaller than our sun, and much cooler. And they don’t give off much light, either.”

“Wait a minute,” Lita said, sitting forward. “Are you saying that the creators of the vultures come from a planet around a red dwarf star? That’s a long-shot, isn’t it? I mean, those stars don’t have much room around them to support life.”

Please visit Bookaholics Anonymous Online for the next excerpt from the second chapter of The Galahad Legacy.
