Excerpt
''With the help of the coordinates they’d been given by the tech, Selu and Skip began their search. The coordinates led them into the slums of Quantill City. The narrow streets were drab and the buildings a far cry from the functional yet still elegant embassy compound. Instead of a variety of local cultivars mounted in window boxes, they saw them piled with trash or overgrown with various fungi. The air reeked of refuse and waste, and low overhanging lines that crossed the street between roofs often had objects slung from their lengths dripping a liquid whose origins Selu cared not to contemplate. This was the dark side of Quantill City, the place where their least affluent denizens eked out a living and vice ran rampant. Every city had one; the only difference was how deteriorated conditions were allowed to decay. In this case, pretty far.''

''“We’re almost there,” Selu told Skip. “Get ready.”''

''“Okay,” Skip answered. “I sense someone tucked away in that alley.”''

''“I sense them too,” Selu replied. “Not human.”''

Comments

 * Reserving my vote until reviews are complete. For any reviewers who are interested, while this is the sequel to First Impressions, foreknowledge of that story is not crucial to understanding Second Guessed. Either reading First Impressions and/or its plot summary might give some additional context on the characters, but it's not essential.
