Excerpt

He couldn’t believe it. From that distance, with that intensity, the phaser blast should have knocked her unconscious. The only indication that Demora Sulu seemed to register from having been shot was to go even more berserk.

Her fingernails raked across Harriman’s forehead. He screamed as they drew blood, and Demora’s howl of triumph was earsplitting. If he’d heard a recording of it, there was no way he would have thought any human at all could ever produce such a sound, much less an eminently civilized, charming, and witty human such as Demora.

And even as the thought flashed through his mind, even as he saw that Demora’s frothing mouth was poised directly over his throat, he realized that he was still clutching his phaser in his right hand. He angled it around, jammed it directly against her bare skin, and fired.
