Teaser Tuesday (October 27)

Teaser Tuesday 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:  download

“We are all alone in our own life-world, flying through the universe at great speed. Humans are lucky not to face that – If they don’t.”

( ~ Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson, 2015, Kindle edition)

[Note: One of the best books I’ve read so far about space exploration and its hurdles, from the author of the amazing Mars Trilogy].

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 have this checked out from the library but have not started it yet. Instead I am reading Brandon Sanderson’s new book set in the mist worlds.

      Sanderson is great for fantasy. KSR is more of hard SF, but great as well…!

    I haven’t read anything by that author for a long time. I’ve kind of drifted away from hard science fiction. The teaser on my adult blog comes from a new military thriller – Tenacity by J. S. Law. Happy reading!

    The book sounds really interesting. I’ve recently read ‘The Martian’ and it left me with quite an appetite for space books ^^

      Hello Lia, this one is of a different kind (btw, I loved the Martian, and I’ve written a review) – but you can as well admire KSR’s rigour.

    Hello Kathy, you might enjoy it anyway. It appeals to more than just science buff types like me 😀
