Welcome back, Sixers, for another Six Sentence Sunday excerpt from Girl Under Glass. 
So, last Sunday was annoying — criminal activity in my hood. (No, I was not involved, you cheeky monkeys. And, yes, we’re unscathed, but the neighbor’s place was not.) The end result is that I didn’t get to respond to your comments, so I’m doing it en masse. You. Are. Awesome! (Man, I’m not sure about another group hug. I’m kinda leery ’cause one of you grabbed my ass last week. Erotica writers, you know I’m talking about you. o.O)
Okay, on with it. Picking up from the last post. Here’s the alien soldier’s response to Rachel’s threat to remove his head with her shotgun.
========
His chin lifted as he folded his arms and looked down at me, his face a blank canvas. I didn’t doubt that the Ohnenrai people’s emotional detachment had made it easy to kill billions of Terrans.
The dogs, baring and gnashing their teeth, advanced. The man eyed my protectors. “Varet!” The word boomed from him even as he remained expressionless.
========

This is some great writing, Monica. Love how you enhanced the blank canvas line. Rather afraid however that he has alien puppy control powers. Damn it.
Oh noes, Kylie, you’ve figured him out! Hide your puppies, all y’all!
Thanks!
Cara and Eleri are right! Girl Under Glass lives up to the promise of these snippets. It’s a great read, and everyone needs to buy it right away.
You had to stop there? Geez woman! I’ll be back next week.
Absolutely buy this book! I. Loved. It. Hand’s down the best science fiction I’ve read this year! Monica can’t write the next one fast enough to suit me.
That said, this scene was a great introduction to the personalities of the two main characters.
That’s not the response one hopes for to a threat made in self-defense! Great description, Monica. I need to find this book.

Wow, talk about a clash of cultures. Great six, Monica.
Indeed I love the imagery and can see that blank, expressionless face. Good six!
Wonderfully written six…loving these characters
I love how you explained his blank canvas further. So much action and intrigue in just six! I want to know the meaning of the word he shouted.
This is such a great moment in the beginning of the story. Great six!!!
Adding my “buy this book!” to Cara’s. Can’t wait for the next one.
Finished Girl Under Glass this week. Fabulous!!!! Loved the characters, the setting, and the pacing. Great read, people! Buy this book.
Awesome snippet! Sheesh, he is so hot, right from word go.
I’m going now–avoiding any group hug that might start 
lol… You crack me up, Monica…
He’s not afraid at all then!I really want to know what happens next. Great six
