About the Author




Simon worked so hard on not seeing what he saw that he almost missed the start of the attack. The HUD
painted the figures hanging upside down from the tube ceiling green as he turned the corner.

Other twisted and misshapen figures lay in wait behind the overturned cars of the tube train. Once he
saw them, though, Simon knew they were Darkspawn.

тАЬAmbush!тАЭ one of DerekтАЩs men yelled in warning.

Out of habit, Simon reached for his sword and the Spike Bolter. He spotted Leah behind him in the
HUD view. Backing into her, he growled, тАЬGet to cover.тАЭ Then he had the Spike Bolter up in his fist and
was firing. A string of detonations ripped away the quietness inside the tube.

The palladium spikes ripped into one of the Darkspawn hanging from the ceiling, pinning the creature to
the stone surface. The demon yowled in pain and anger as it tried to rip itself free. Its thin body whipped
and twisted, tearing the wounds in its flesh even larger.

Upon closer inspection, Simon saw that on the ceiling the demons had woven a web of cargo netting
theyтАЩd undoubtedly scavenged from the overturned tube cars. TheyтАЩd worked awfully quickly to have set
the ambush up on the TemplarтАЩs return.

A moment later, the Darkspawn Simon had nailed to the ceiling braced its feet and pulled through the
spikes. Dark blood ran freely from the wounds. Snarling, the demon landed only a few feet in front of
Simon. It lifted a weapon and took aim.
