Time Jacker by Aaron Crash (best free novels .txt) 📗

Roy shot to his feet and caught the blast. It seared most of his shoulder away, and it pissed him off. He rushed Tolliver, but this time he socked the old man in the face. Tolliver took two staggering steps backward. His nose gushed blood. The energy powering his synthetic tendons might make him stronger, but if the fucker couldn’t take a punch, being a cyborg wouldn’t matter much.

Phyllis must not have been paying attention to her compliance training. She didn’t run. She should’ve.

“Phyllis, get the fuck out of here!” Roy thundered.

“Fuck you, Boss,” the old woman cursed. “I’m not leaving you alone with this glorified accountant.”

Roy plucked the gun out of the CFO’s enhanced fingers.

More footsteps. This time, two security guards appeared from behind Tolliver. Chuckles and Snide, Tolliver’s personal guards, raised ePistols of their own.

Roy saw the look in their eyes—it was clear which side those two bastards were on.

“Phyllis, get out of here, get your money, disappear. I’ll find you.” If he survived his contingency plan. It was fifty/fifty at best. Joyce actually said he had a 49 percent chance of dying. So he had that going for him. He was betting every fucking thing on that one percent.

But before he cashed in his chips, he was going to kill Tolliver.

He shot the CFO at the same time Chuckles and Snide blasted his flesh to bits.

That wasn’t fair. Roy wanted more than one shot, but that was all he got. He hit Tolliver in the chest, but there was no way of knowing if he put the man down.

Roy felt the barrage of blasts tear his body to bits. That pain felt distant. It must’ve stopped his heart, however, because Joyce Halcyon’s voice filled his head.

Flesh sizzling, Roy Boss died for the second time. It felt easier than the heart attack twenty years ago. I guess you really do get better at everything...with a little practice.

Acknowledgements

AS ALWAYS, THANKS TO Don for talking with me about this book any number of times to get down the details. One time, we talked all the way through my Costco trip, talking about sex demons and happy angels.

Thanks to Mark, Cebelius, and James for a Monday night during Covid, where we all talked about the various versions of this book that might not suck. I couldn’t go with Ceb’s pornographer version, but I was tempted. Lord, I was tempted.

Thanks to Brandon Varnell, Kevin, Natalie, and George. In one of the Harem Lit Facebook groups, we had a rousing discussion on sulking demons, happy angels, and bath water. Long story short, I had to write this book because Brandon pointed out we see very few happy-go-lucky angels out here in storyland.

I can’t thank my Lord-level patrons enough: Alphonzo Fudge, Clinton Haid, Colt McIntosh, Bruce Johnson, Maria Snyder, and James Moody. Thanks so much for helping me buy groceries. You people are awesome.

Thanks to my beta reader, Jacob, for saving the day. I had to rewrite the last couple of chapters, but it was worth it. If all goes well, and I get to write a sequel, we’ll see the rise of the Mistress of Death!

Thanks to Scott and Laura. We talked a lot of Time Jacker up there in Loveland, Colorado.

Lastly, thanks to my amazing editors, D.J. and Kelly, for helping me to make this crazy idea work. They’re brilliant. Anything that’s wrong with the book falls right at my feet. But I’ve had this idea for a long, long time.

Patreon

THANKS SO MUCH FOR reading Time Jacker! I have a Patreon page, and I’m unveiling cover art, posting chapters, and giving away free eBooks when they come out. Yes, being my patron gets you the chapters and the eBook before anyone else! It’s a deal.

Also, if you have an idea for a story, or a suggestion, my Patreon page is the perfect place to reach out. That’s the thing with Patreon—if the fans want a specific story, I’ll write one, however spicy, in any of my worlds.

It’s been my lifelong dream to become a professional novelist, and I hope to share more of my journey with you as I continue to write books people love.
