Teaser Tuesdays


MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Anyone can play along. Just do the following:

*Grab your current read.*Open to a random page.
*Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.

*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! You don't want to ruin the book for others.
*Share the title and author too, so other TT participants can add it to their TBR lists if they like your teaser.

Here's mine from The Lieutenant's Whistle by Fred Stemme (p. 1):
At zero hour, when the whistles sounded up and down the line, each man would dutifully climb the ladder in his sector. At the top upon entering No Man's Land, a hail of bullets would greet him, and with it, an uncertain fate.

  1. Good teaser! Haven't heard of this one before. Is it a World War I novel?

  2. Yes, it is. I hadn't heard of it before the author offered me a review copy. The opening hooked me and it helped that the main character is from Indiana.

  3. Why bullets in No Man's Land? Isn't that prohibited?

    Great teaser.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
