Teaser Tuesday October 30, 2012

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. 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.

My teaser today is from Spinneret by Timothy Zhan.  This is a reissue.  The book was originally published in 1987.  Zhan set the book in 2016 and we are not even close to what the book says we can do but if you ignore that it is a really good Science Fiction Story.  I got the book from Netgalley.

Here are my teasers:

"From orbit Astra resembled nothing so much as a giant mudball on which someone had thoughtlessly spilled a bucket or two of pale blue paint" 

" I wish we had brought some paint," he commented to the man beside him."
