Something bit me in the ass. I shrieked like a toddler deprived of her ice cream cone, whirled around with my jade knife poised to gut the offender, and found myself staring at yet another endless wall of musty old books. This wasn’t the first time I’d been ambushed in the nexus library — the books […]
