\u00a0Excerpt<\/h4>\n

With the ground approaching quickly, Fredrick pulled on the toggles to stall his decent. Several yards from the ground, his parachute jerked sharply up, leaving him breathless and twisting in his harness. Glancing skyward to see what he\u2019d snagged on, Fredrick stared into the angry eyes of the giant.<\/p>\n

A distraught Quinn was clutched in his fist, crushed between his fingers so tight she looked limp and lifeless. Yanking on the cutaway handle, the shoot detached from his harness and Fredrick dropped to the ground hard, smashing on to the giant\u2019s right foot.<\/p>\n

Reflexively, the giant kicked, sending Fredrick sailing into the side of the tower where he bounced against the unforgiving stone and crumpled into a heap. The ground jumped and slid under Fredrick as the giant approached. He clawed at the grass, willing the ground to quit rolling. He\u2019d done some serious injury to his chest that sent stabbing pains through his torso every time he tried to breathe.<\/p>\n

The giant\u2019s shadow fell over him from the rising sun and Fredrick rolled to his back in time to see the disgusting blackened bottom of his bare foot descending on him. Moving quickly and smoothly, his hands didn\u2019t seem his own as they drew the machete from its sheath and thrust upwards, connecting with sole of the giant\u2019s foot.<\/p>\n

His skin was tougher than Fredrick anticipated, and he leaned into the blade, feeling it slide through the skin and into the muscle beneath. Blood welled around Fredrick\u2019s hands and spilled over him as the weight of the giant continued downward, threatening to crushed him.<\/p>\n

The giant howled in pain and kicked out in a panic, wrenching the knife from Fredrick\u2019s blood slicked hands. The massive foot swung out of his line of vision just in time for Fredrick to watch him throw his hands in the air, releasing Quinn. She arced high and sailed over the side of the floating island.<\/p>\n

Fredrick wondered why\u2014later, when he had time to reflect\u2014he started thinking he was some kind of superhero, and apparently one that flew. But at the time, he simply sprinted for the side of the island and launched himself into space, desperate to catch Quinn before the ground rushed up to meet them.<\/p>\n
