Why this must be read: Signal Fire begins just after the series finale, but all is not as it appears. When Kara vanishes in the field, she awakens in her Viper, on the verge of flying into the storm in Maelstrom. Thus begins a truly epic redemption story.
Excerpt:
“What the hell were you thinking, Kara?” Broken, disbelieving. He was breathing hard, helmet tucked beneath his right arm. She could see the cold sweat glistening on his brow beneath the flight deck lights. “You could have been killed.”
Hysterical laughter bubbled up inside her. She swallowed it, made a sharp little choking sound as tears came to her eyes.
She saw his expression darken, he thought she was mocking him. Or insane. Probably both.
He stepped into her space, close enough to breathe her air. Hers came a little faster then, too, as it always did when he got too close.
“Kara Thrace, I don’t know what is going on with you,” he whispered fiercely, “But you just gave me the worst scare of my life.”
She hesitated in the face of his anger, lost, then she grinned and hoped he wouldn’t notice those hysterical tears she blinked away as she did, “I can’t promise it’ll be the last.”
He swore. His helmet hit the deck with a clunk.
“Can you promise me it’ll be the last today, Kara?”
