Sneak Peek: Eight Minutes, Thirty-Two Seconds by Peter Adam Salomon with Giveaway!



Eight Minutes, 
Thirty-Two Seconds
by Peter Adam Salomon
YA SciFi Thriller










Over eight billion people died when the world ended.

Two survived.

L and M don’t know why they’re alive. They don’t remember what happened. Addicted to a drug that kills them for eight minutes and thirty-two seconds, they risk the end of humanity in order to learn the truth.




SNEAK PEEK

L had forgotten how many times she’d died. 
Once more. Her repeated promise to M: just one more death. 
L’s fingers shook where they rested on his arm, trying to pull the injector closer to the port in her forearm, waiting for her fix.
M pressed the plunger. 
For a moment, she wanted to curse him for injecting her, for reminding her that, after she died, she’d forget her empty promises of never dying again. 
He’d heard it all before. He’d hear it the next time he killed her. And the next.
But that moment was fatally brief as the heat reached her heart and fire tore through her with the finality of flatlining. 

***

The first seconds after dying were a vertigo death spiral, when the brain shuts down amid the inescapable sound of the last beat of her heart. 
Then, memory returns. She’d died before. She’d die again. On purpose.
Death had a reason.
