Teaser Tuesday (May 3)

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat.

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: “From the anarchists of tsarist Russia to the IRA of 1916, from the Irgun and the Stern Gang to the EOKA in Cyprus, from the Baader-Meinhof group in Germany, the CCC in Belgium, the Action Directe in France, the Red Brigades in Italy, the Red Army Faction again in Germany, the Rengo Sekigun in Japan, through to the Shining Path in Peru to the modern IRA in Ulster or the ETA in Spain, terrorism came from the minds of the comfortably raised, well-educated, middle-class theorists. With a truly staggering personal vanity and a developed taste for self-indulgence.”

( ~ Avenger by Frederick Forsyth, 2003 , Kindle Edition)

[Note: Not the most famous novel of the revered author Frederick Forsyth, but a great political thriller nonetheless.]

    I’ve never come across this one, Stephen and I used to really enjoy Forsyth’s writing. Thank you for giving us a taste of an undiscovered gem. My offering this week may well be right up your street – well written sci fi…

    I haven’t ever seen this one though I’ve read others by the author. This week my teaser comes from Of Noble Family by Mary Robinette Kowal. Happy reading!

    Wow, your teaser made my eyes cross just a bit at the beginning! I went back and re-read it several times to get the examples it was giving. Thanks for sharing. My teaser this week is from a novel by John le Carre: http://abookaddictsview.blogspot.com/2016/05/teaser-tuesday.html

    Hmm, sounds interesting. It was actually the last sentence that grabbed me as opposed to the first sentence. Happy Reading!

    Not my normal genre. I’ve read a book by him before but it’s been some time ago.
