Book Beginnings and The Friday 56

I'm linking up with Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings and Freda's Voice for Page 56. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Pick the closest book on your book stack and join the fun.

My Beginning and 56 is from Admiral by Sean Danker. This is a Science Fiction/Space Opera Military Science Fiction book that I just ordered and received in the mail. It is the first in a new series. Have not read it yet but will post review when I have.

Page 56:

"Yes?" Deilani sounded a little out of breath. She was trying to compensate for not having a clue where she was going by running the whole way.
