THE CHOSEN: Chapter 17 Short Excerpt

Cover Art By Greg Opalinski

Chapter 17 in THE CHOSEN is where the conflict in the book is taking center stage. The title of that chapter, as I mentioned in my last post, is "The Gathering Storm". That title actually came from a passage at the end of the chapter. Below, I've included the last four paragraphs. Rad and Zeer are talking.

   “Zeer?”

   “Yes?”

   “At this moment, I feel like I did when I was out on R-131 in my survival shelter watching one of those gigantic, violent dust storms rolling towards me. I’d look out of my small shelter, with only its thin shell for protection, and I felt completely and utterly vulnerable, never knowing whether I would survive or not. I always did, but I never felt safe until it was over.

   None of us knows what’s going to happen now either, and I again feel the danger and power of an oncoming gathering storm..."
