This is a teaser from what will probably be Book 6 in the Anye Legacy series. The working title is A Habit of Providence. I’m having fun, and I thought I’d share. Enjoy!
International Space Station — Earth Orbit
The International Space Station crew crowded against a viewport, taking pictures and waving, but the mission commander was inhospitable over the radio. “We’re not supposed to talk to you.”
“I don’t know what to say to that.” Elbert tossed a token into the augmented reality workspace. “Feel free to jump in.”
Pam instantiated a virtual push-to-talk widget; it felt rubbery, rough on one side, like it was really there, a surreal artifact of the universe she’d entered. “I’m Pamela Carlson, United States Army Reserve, and we’d really like to have a conversation.”
“Miss; I have the radio. Conversation over.”
Pam nudged Elbert on the shoulder, pointing out a handwritten sign taped to the inside of the viewport, saying ‘4 bars! millietheastronaut@spacecenter.de’. “It looks like you left your cell tower emulator on.”
It took ten minutes to strike an accord with the rest of the ISS crew and get on their way.
John Dyer Writes 
Hey, John, I’m almost finished with Resilient. Really enjoying it. I’m the type of person that reads 5or 6 books at once, that’s what’s taking me so long. I’ll be sure to leave a review once I’m finished.
