7500 Words – A Short Story from the universe of The Teleportation Wars
It was supposed to be an easy jump. Captain Ryan Carter and A-Squad were supposed to teleport into the wastelands of North Dakota, scout an abandoned National Guard installation, and then teleport home. Easy.
But nothing is never easy in the wastelands left by Teleportation Wars. When squads are lost in the wastelands the entire base is teleported away.
When Base One’s Jump Master intentionally teleports A-Squad into the heart of nuclear ravaged Houston, Texas, Ryan knows that the Jump Master is a traitor. At the very least he’s stranded A-Squad in the wastelands, away from their families, with no way home. Worse he knows that the entire population of Base One is at risk from the crooked teleportation operator’s treachery and he is sure an attack on the base is imminent.
With only limited supplies and their teleportation-enabled weapons, A-Squad has to find a way back to Base One before the traitorous Jump Master has a chance to destroy everything they’ve worked so hard to salvage in the post apocalyptic world of the Teleportation Wars.

Early Mistake to Correct
I just started the book so I can’t provide a true reviiew. I gave it four stars as a holding place, giving it the benefit of the doubt in order to leave this comment—about a jarring syntax mistake very early on. I hope the author sees this and correctsthe error. At page 5, the sentence reads something not far from (I don’t remember the exact verbiage however the mistake is clear): “Her distaste for Base One’s leader was PALATABLE…” should read —> “Her distaste for Base One’s leader was PALPABLE…” (Emphasis mine.)
