Story excerpt
There were days when MP Lyn Rankin just hated the Earth. Especially Africa; especially Kenya. On the human level, she could understand Sandra Lewis’s idea of placing the Capital of the Human Republic – this brand new step in the history of Humanity – on the continent that gave birth to Homo sapiens. On a political level, she could appreciate using the location of the Capital as a way to placate a continent for centuries of abuse and neglect. But on the personal level, she hated being here. The air was too thick, too heavy, too dusty or, on days like this, too humid.
The window of her cab was streaked with water. How anyone could find rain beautiful, something to look forward to, was beyond her. Even inside her sealed cab everything felt damp.
To take her mind off the rain, she again tried to figure out the summons to see President Väkelä. It must be Trident Colony, she thought. But if it had been attacked by pirates or rogue Lumens, you call out the Guard and Navy to hunt them down. You inform their MP, but that does not require a meeting with the President.
Unless, something else had happened. Maybe the colonists were being held captive. But what could she do? The Human Republic would not negotiate with terrorists. An epidemic? Call in the CDA. Then – to make things more confusing – Lyn wondered what if something wonderful had happened instead? What if the colonists had found evidence for another alien race, one the Pentans did not know of? Would that warrant a meeting with the President?
She had been down this road several times before, but could not get anywhere. To take her mind off the problem, she looked back out the window.

The only 'action' that happens on this short intro to another story is that a politician travels to the scene of a tragedy where all 56 members of a new colony died, and presents part of a memorial speech. From this simple scenario, we get an in-depth introduction of her, and another character whom I presume will become her antagonist in future stories. Both characters are developed with depth and 3 dimensions. This little taster would be a good study for aspiring authors into how to develop a character. The taster worked. I will be looking at Thompson's other work.Product details
