Specks in the Sky by Ben Rice



(57 pages)



In a remote American location, on a derelict property where Ryder Jarvis lives with her mother and sister, bizarre things happen. Out of the sky comes a team of elite parachutists, super specimens of new-age (but tough) manhood, led by a Commander who talks in gung-ho clichés. They cannot reveal their top-secret mission but they take over the property, repair everything, clean everything up, cook gourmet meals, discuss literature and charm Ryder's mother and sister. Ryder is impressed but sceptical. She suspects that the men are fakes...

I didn't enjoy this as much as Pobby and Dingan. It was rather surreal with a very strange ending....good fun, but lacked the intense emotion of Pobby and Dingan.
