Teaser Tuesdays (August 11)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

That’s my choice of the day:

“I will live. The thought was a command, an imperative he drove so deep into his consciousness that not even his starved and sore-ridden body could defy his will.”

( ~ Carrion Comfort, by Dan Simmons, 1990, Kindle edition.)

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your ‘teasers’ in a comment here and/or in A Daily Rhythm’s blog.

    I’ve got to admit, that cover is freaking me out a bit (I admit, I scare very easily). I like your teaser, though; very powerful!

    Here’s my post

    Sounds like he is in a very dangerous situation. The teaser on my adult blog comes from Deceptions by Kelley Armstrong this week. Happy reading!

      Dan Simmons is simply amazing, both for horror (this one, and Song of Kali) and SF (Hyperion and its sequels). Enjoy!

    Hello, I have read that one – it’s as good as Ender’s Game (even though less famous)
