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!
This is my choice of the day:
World of Water – Book 2 of the Dev Harmer Mission by James Lovegrove
83%: The Ice King had sunk out of sight. Dev hoped it had slouched off somewhere to tend to its wound, but he doubted it. The bastard thing wasn’t going to give up that easily.
BLURB – Dev Harmer has landed in a new body on a new planet. He has gills and fins and a chronic malfunction in his genes. With only 72 hours to bring the settlers and natives of a colonised world to peace before his temporary body expires, murder and corruption are the least of his worries.
With the indigenous ‘mer-folk’ on the seabed and the human settlers in floating cities on the ocean surface cannibalising the mer-tech in an attempt to force their way into the eco-system, Harmer is in a race against the clock to ensure his mission doesn’t end in abject disaster, a Polis+ coup or genocide.
I’m really enjoying this one – military sci fi, but being James Lovegrove, with a tongue-in-cheek twist. I somehow missed the start of this series, but after I’ve completed this NetGalley arc, I’m going to be tracking it down as a priority…
Really like that teaser. May need to go hunt down that series 🙂
I heartily recommend it – James Lovegrove is one of my favourite authors. He is a clever, witty writer who assumes his readers are also smart.
That might be an erroneous assumption to make about me 🙂
lol… Great to have a writer who makes that assumption though!
I like the sound of this series. I’ll be tracking down the first book too. My teaser comes from Tumbled Graves by Brenda Chapman. Happy reading!
I love a good sci-fi series. This one sounds like a really interesting concept! I hope that you are enjoying it. 🙂
It’s a blast! James Lovegrove is always worth reading and I shall be reviewing this one in due course:).
Not my usual genre…but fascinating teaser. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “IF YOU LIVED HERE…”
This sounds like an interesting read; the teaser and blurb definitely left me intrigued! Good to hear you are enjoying it.
Happy reading! Here’s my teaser of The Liar’s Chair by Rebecca Whitney.
Ooh sounds like a good’un! I definitely need to get back on track with some sci-fi… I’ve been sorely neglecting it!
I’ve read some great sci fi this year, so far:)
Sounds like this author has created a fascinating world. I hope you’re enjoying the story.
My Tuesday post features a contemporary romance: GRIFF MONTGOMERY, QUARTERBACK.
Catching indeed, as you said – need to get a copy 🙂
This sure sounds different. You’ve got me curious:)
My TT – Laura @ fuonlyknew
Oh nice; sounds like we just came out of an intense sea battle 🙂 Sounds interesting!
It’s certainly that! I’ve just finished it and it’s a really great read.
