It is with great pleasure that I welcome Liza O'Connor back to my blog. This time she's giving us a peek at her newly released book Scavenger Falters, the second book in her wonderful SkyRyders Series.
How Did Alisha Survive the Cully River Meat-eaters?
During Alisha’s death defying Broadtown mission she released her catcher at two thousand feet and soared down into a cross wind, somehow managing to stay upright on her slats even as she tossed blasters to take out ten concussion launchers, a tank, and everyone in the Czech field command tent. She even managed to without crashing. Still, she had no hope of surviving, for she headed straight to the Cully River, thick with meat-eaters.

She even managed to without crashing. Still, she had no hope of surviving, for she headed straight to the Cully River, thick with meat-eaters.
As she reached the Cully River at high speed, she dropped the bag of remaining blasters into the water, soared over the surface of the water as she triggered the blasters to explode. The explosion beneath the water tossed her in the air while killing or knocking unconscious all the meat-eaters in the vicinity. By the time she fell back into the water the sharks in the area were dead or stunned. This wasn’t luck, but perfect timing of the explosions coupled with her agility to remain upright and ride the water.
At the time however, everyone believed she had died by meat-eaters in the Cully River. But miraculously she survived.
And now she discovers that after the Broadtown battle, Jack (Colonel Sparks) sent out men to locate and retrieve Alisha’s wind-catcher. This is fabulous news. She has made so many modifications to her catcher that she is relieved she won’t have to start from scratch and try to re-create the same masterpiece twice.
What Jack doesn’t tell her until later is that it is in need of repairs. But even if she has to begin with a new windcatcher, having the old one will ensure she modifies it the same.
So she is thrilled that Jack took the time to rescue it.

Scavenger Falters
By Liza O’Connor
Alisha Kane, the Corps’ best flyer, is promoted to colonel, in charge of teaching the Corp’s SkyRyders her extraordinary flying maneuvers. The man she loves, Logan, continues to place the Corps first and insists they both remain focused on their work. For Alisha, this means ferreting out the best flyers in a Corps that has systematically forced great flyers into mediocrity. Logan focuses on learning Alisha’s flying techniques so that he can become the hero the East Coast desperately needs. The result includes fractured ribs and broken hearts, but through it all they never relinquish their love of the Corps.

EXCERPT
Jack sighed and stood up. “Regrettably, I have to leave now and take Wonder Woman away with me. General Powell wants a full accounting within the hour.”
Alisha sighed, handing the jacket back to him. “I’ll go get my flight suit…ah shit! My catcher!” She had disconnected her catcher at a thousand feet before taking her suicide-bombing run behind the concussion launchers. She’d never find it this late. It had probably blown across three states by now.
“It’s in my jeep outside. As soon as the battle was contained, I sent a squad out to recover it.”
“Even though you didn’t think I survived?” she asked, pleased by the gesture.
Evidently, Colonel Logan had reached his breaking point and for the first time in the last hour, he spoke. “Of course he retrieved your catcher. Even if you were gone, we could still learn and improve our flying techniques by studying your alterations. He wasn’t being kind, Alisha. He was doing his job.”
