“I’m not letting him get away,” Elya insisted. But he heard the undertone of her criticism. You're not being a team player, she seemed to be saying. Your actions are selfish. And even if you do catch this drone, the rest of the squad will resent the way you flew. But it was too late now. A tenacious stubbornness wouldn’t let Elya give up the chase.

“It’s two-on-one. We’ve got it outnumbered.”

Presently, the drone veered away from the Mammoth fleet and accelerated toward Robichar. Seeing his opportunity, Elya opened his thrusters to full burn. Osprey tailed him, the two of them flying neck and neck like they had back at the academy. The next few minutes passed in tense silence. When they were a hundred klicks out from the fleet, the Kryl drone flipped around and shot backward at them without losing its momentum. It was even able to maneuver in reverse to avoid their shots when they returned fire, dipping and dodging. Impressive. That was the kind of flying Elya got criticized for. Osprey would have called it pretty but ineffective flying.

Kryl didn’t think like people. They were controlled by a remote Overmind that gave them abilities that human pilots could never hope to match. It was one of the reasons starfighters weren’t piloted remotely; starfighters needed every edge they could get.

Elya stayed close, keeping up the steady stream of attack and refusing to back down. Hedgebot scurried back and forth along the window over his head, keeping him on track with the Kryl’s erratic flight pattern. At some point, the starfighter’s internal AI determined that the G-forces were too much for Elya’s body to handle on its own, and a pinch at the back of his neck, followed by a relaxing of his muscles, told him he’d been injected with the dose of targeted chemicals that would sharpen his senses and make the G-forces easier to handle.

Hopped up on the cocktail of stimulants and stabilizers, Elya managed to close the distance between himself and the drone to within half a kilometer. At this point, the Kryl drone flipped back around and arced up overhead in a loop—the same maneuver that Osprey had cautioned him against earlier that day.

As it came around, Elya cut his thrust, repositioning himself and waiting for his weapons system to lock onto the drone. As he expected, the craft came down in front of him, and when it did he mashed on his trigger, only to watch his blaster bolts soar right through the craft.

“Impossible,” Elya whispered.

“Nevers, pull up! Pull up!”

The drone braked and though Hedgebot flashed a bright red warning, Elya was too slow and too close to do anything except brace himself. To his complete and utter astonishment, the Kryl drone phased through his ship. His starfighter should have cut that drone in half, killing them both; instead, it passed through him, unharmed.

For a frozen moment, Elya’s Sabre occupied the same physical space as the Kryl drone. The craft was twice as large as his Sabre… and though he had expected it to be unmanned, it wasn’t. A vicious and deformed-looking Kryl with a midnight-black carapace and six arms terminating in skeletal claws, veered past him clacking its mandibles.

Above the mandibles, Elya met a pair of eyes set deep into a face that seemed far too human. He blinked and it was gone, the pilot once again hidden behind the hull of the Kryl drone.

“Nevers!” Osprey shouted, forgetting to use his call sign in her concern for him. “Nevers, are you okay?”

His starfighter beeped a warning as the drone’s weapons system locked onto him from behind.

“Oh no.” A cold spark of fear shivered through him, and his skin burst out in tingling gooseflesh. Elya’s body rocked violently as the drone’s weapons landed a direct hit on the rear left wing of his Sabre, taking out one of his two main engines. Warning systems blared, his control panel lit up, the filaments along Hedgebot’s back flashed red. Another targeted salvo from the Kryl took out two of his maneuvering thrusters. Elya’s Sabre went into an uncontrollable tailspin, pulled in by the gravity of the moon.

The blinking white of an explosion behind him told him that Osprey had landed a hit on the drone and damaged it. Elya didn’t think it had been taken out of commission completely, though, as it veered away from them.

Captain Osprey wavered between pursuing the damaged drone and sticking with him, but eventually she stuck with him.

“Nevers!” Osprey called. “Hang on! I’m coming after you.”

Elya did his best. He fought to regain control of the starfighter, but it had been lost to him. Caught in the gravitational pull of Robichar, Elya spiraled down toward the colony moon. As his starfighter spun, the movement overwhelmed even the cocktail of stimulants in his system, and he lost consciousness.

Customer Reviews

The story was riveting, great combination of sky jocks and science fiction. The characters were diverse and well depicted. I look forward to reading more.

Avidreader N. 5/5

Starfighter Down by M.G. Herron is excellent Sci-Fi, action-packed, and spell-binding reading. Basically, it’s a human vs. alien plot involving the evacuation of a colony of humans from a planet-size moon, but it’s also a search and rescue mission for a downed Star Fighter pilot, his actions and efforts to survive, and his interactions with a religious group of colonists who choose not to evacuate. Characters are well-developed and the narrative is so detailed as to become “visual” to the reader. It has a “happy ending” and creates a desire to read the next book in the series. I think you’ll enjoy it as I did.

R. A. 5/5

Well this series has a life of its own. Great storytelling. Interesting characters. Camaraderie with life itself. Very well done.

Jjdrymiller 5/5

What a fantastic book! Aliens, scary aliens at that, and humans fighting them, but using ancient artifacts and brilliant modern starfighters. I loved the flying scenes, and found there were sufficient twists and turns, interspersed with enough action to keep this adrenaline junkie satisfied!The characters are great, and have developed well during the three main books, with a general feeling of satisfaction when things are concluded.But, oh, I shall certainly miss Hedgebot. Perhaps Hedgebot should get a series of her own? Please, nice author??

Dragonsmama 5/5

Ahhh, so satisfying! I love every page! The end was definitely unexpected! The dialog is crisp and goes well with each character.There’s so much excellent tension in this book and the character growth is great. We had some revelations that we’ve been waiting on for a while now. And of course, I love miss Hedgebot! :)

Maureen H. 5/5

Full of action and adventure. Precise in theoretical science. Character development is excellent. You feel like you're with them.This series was the best reason to spend money I've ever had. I cannot begin to imagine what it took to create this series. But I'd like to try.

Ken J. 5/5

There is so much more to Starfighter Down than than battles in space. Though there’s plenty of that! There’s mystery, grief, lost love, the partnership of a cohesive team and the bravery on planet and off. And there’s a time for growing up that essential step. A fantastic read!

Having read and enjoyed the ebooks. I decided to purchase the Audiobooks as I prefer to listen to something more engaging than music in the gym. The mp3s are good quality and I am enjoying listening. Steve

I love Science Fiction. This read has a nice balance between character development and battle sequences. I’m more in favour of getting to know the characters and environment. It was a great listen as I’m using the audio version. Thank you. MA Taylor

Loved the book

John R. 5/5 Verified

A good read but a bit stretched in places, by which I mean some parts “do go on a bit” without adding much to the story. Having said that I still went the distance and overall enjoyed the yarn. A few nice surprises here and there which I won’t spoil. 80% delighted.

Nicholas C. 4/5 Verified

A really enjoyable read, there were no what I call "lags or gaps" in the story, it held my interest throughout, made me look forward to the next page, and made me a little sad when it ended.

I enjoyed the read, however, it was difficult maintaining focus on the fourth through sixth books. The bad guys were defeated,, story was pretty much over at the end of the third book.
