Here's an excerpt from
Mirror Shattered:
The ship fell silent.
Seth had managed to maneuver the ship to avoid the second blaster charge.
"I think I have it.
Fly into that star," Maddie instructed Seth.
"You've got to be
kidding me," David said, exasperated.
"The shields will
hold," Maddie assured Seth.
Seth looked to Jackson
who nodded in agreement with Maddie.
"I hope you know
what you are doing," Seth muttered, setting in the coordinates.
Me,
too. Maddie thought. But she knew she couldn't lose her nerve
now.
"What's your
plan?" Jackson
asked.
"We can actually use
our shields to deflect energy toward our attackers," Maddie responded.
"That sounds
dangerous," John warily said.
"It will take
everything we have in shields to do this. We'll only get one shot at this. If
my math is wrong, it could destroy us," Maddie admitted.
The crew looked on as
Seth punched in the coordinates to the nearest star. The attacking ship began
to follow suit. Maddie pulled out her data tablet and connected it to the ship.
"Maddie, please be
correct," Seth prayed.
Her entire body shook as
she turned on her tablet. If she was off by even a fraction...
"Maddie..."
John encouragingly said.
"A minute." She
shook her head.
"We don't have a
minute, Madison," Jackson sharply said.
"Got it!" she
exclaimed, just as the ship entered the star.
The ship began to hum as
the shields started pushing back against the star's energy. The enemy stopped
its pursuit.
"It's waiting for us
to come out," Chris said.
"On my mark,
Seth," Maddie said, loading up her newly-written program into the ship's
control panel.
"The temperature in
the hull is rising," David alerted her.
"I'm aware. We're
almost there," Maddie replied.
"I think we have
it," Seth said.
"Fire!" Maddie
shouted.
