Scream Angel — Douglas Smith
AURORA AWARD WINNER from a multi-award Winning Author.
Think of human emotion as a geography, with peaks of pleasure and valleys of pain. Imagine a drug that flips the valleys and makes them peaks, too. You react now to an event based not on the pleasure or pain that it brings, but solely on the intensity of the emotion created. Pain brings pleasure, grief gives joy, horror renders ecstasy.
Now give this drug to a soldier. Tell them to kill. Not in the historically acceptable murder of war, but in a systematic corporate strategy--of xenocide.
They will kill. And they will revel in it.
Welcome to the world of Scream.
Jason Trelayne is a Screamer, a soldier forced to take
part in the destruction of entire races. But when Trelayne falls
in love with a beautiful Scream Angel, an alien who produces the addictive drug,
he sets off a chain of events that pits him and a small group of followers
against an empire.
An award winning novelette of rebellion, love, and an
unlikely hero.
