Masks of Terror: Excerpt

[derrick_mace]

Derek Mace: This is a new concept in making. I pursued this genre because I saw it fit to appeal to the greater masses which (I fear) are adamant on making High Fantasy obsolete lest it be from a famous author.

This story on the other hand, is mystery, action and drama. It takes place mostly in a fictional university campus, with visits to Seattle

WOW. That IS one heck of an introduction! The action starts right on the first line and it just doesn't let you go the whole way through. And I could really feel what poor Kasim was going through-- the fear and horror and indignation at what the extremists were doing, against innocents and against his faith. You conveyed that really, really well. :)

Muwhaha!

I was originally intending this scene to be at the middle-end of the book, where Kassim is one of the most religious and intelligent of the international student group, and the loss of him tosses everything to chaos.

It's mostly a really crazy story--no one knows what to do, and those who try to get away know "too much".
