Music of the Spheres - Excerpt - Flying Sparks - A Novel – A Strange Song
Drake McCarty’s leg was shattered deep in the wilderness, and as the flash flood closed over him, he looked death in the face.
When he wakes up in a hospital bed, in a military base that shouldn’t exist, he has a whole leg and a furious sister to deal with.
Drake is sworn to keep a secret he doesn’t understand, but whatever pulled him out of the flood, isn’t quite done with him yet, because even if you leave nothing but footprints, the things that walk the forest can still follow you home.
Excerpt 10
That led his thought down other paths. This music was unlike any he had ever heard. It was a far cry from anything the radio brought into the house, or the kind their youth group played. There was something of the pipes they had heard once long ago when they had visited the house of some very distant cousin who played a handmade flute and taught Ama too. There was even something of Em’s guitar playing that was familiar and that comparison made Drake’s brain hitch a bit, focusing him back on the real world.
A bolt of lightning struck an outcropping beside him then the window turned opaque for an instant and the living crystal sang with power. Right, the real world, as real as it was at the moment. The thought that Bole had just absorbed a bolt of lightning without flinching was filed away for later use as Drake surveyed the scene. The storm that Abuelita had predicted had materialized with a vengeance. Were he to be caught out in that even uninjured his survival would have been questionable. A new shudder ran though him and he closed his eyes pressing his forehead into Bole gratefully.
