Rocket McGee reaches the summit of The Keep. Copyrighted material from Rocket McGee Back in Trouble!: Pirates over Pacifica follows.
She threw herself up over that final edge and skittered across the last of the lava rocks’ knife-edged swirls – quickly, before any more pain could reach her brain – skittered to where the lava swirls joined with the smooth, rusty-tan rock of the Keep, ’til she lay in a haphazard heap of splayed arms and legs; her hands, feet, and midriff bloodied… gasping, wheezing, but safe, on a flat, solid surface. She laughed and wept all at once.
You did it, you wuss! She laughed.
She wanted to lie there, to cleanse in the downpour, to bask in her triumph, to coddle her wounds. But she had to press on.
There wasn’t time to spare. She’d set things in motion… and the longer it took to shut down the jam field, the more likely her friends would be found before rescue – assuming they’d gotten away at all…
She straightened her arms and lifted her torso off the ground; raised her head, then her eyes, to the Keep. The antenna at the summit glowed and flickered, pulsing in the lightning’s strobe.

GalleryAmelia Falls into the Garage with the Packard Caribbean in Rocket McGee Avoiding Trouble
Amelia Falls into the Garage with the Packard Caribbean, shoved by the helicopter’s rotor wash, off her feet and into the air… a copyrighted excerpt follows, from Rocket McGee Avoiding Trouble! or Flight of the Golden Caterpillar, Book 1 in the kidlit Rocket McGee Series.
…like having the rug pulled out from under me, she reflected, remotely, as she backstroked through the roiled and scorching, debris-filled air.
She pictured an ugly, scratchy, painful fall, slap-dab in the middle of a flaming thorn bush, charred and torn to shreds and at the mercy of her attackers, who even then rushed towards her, but instead she fell back softly, almost in slow motion, borne by tingling invisible fingers to the concrete floor of a dimly lit room, and she stared up at the back of a green garage door.

Rocket McGee kids tour Faraway Island with Andrew the Antigrav Air Taxi.
In Book One of the Rocket McGee Series, Rocket McGee Avoiding Trouble! or Flight of the Golden Caterpillar, Chad Saenz takes Amelia and the kids for a tour of Faraway Island in Andrew, the Antigrav Air Taxi.
You know, the Aircars protect their passengers with a surrounding forcefield, but Amelia really shouldn’t be standing up, pointing like that! You think? But, she must be excited. She must have just figured out that she’s looking at the omicron Chairman’s offices from the outside, where the windows look out from the Upper Branch of the Outer Shoe onto the Sea of Faraway.
