Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. To 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!
- Share the title and author, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!
The men on deck rushed to the rails to get a look, but they were subdued now, their task emptied of some of its fun by the earnestness of the young man they had sent deep into the murky waters below them. Several of them hoped aloud he'd make it. The sailors walked the lines backward, hand-over-hand past the ratlines and rigging, over the cannon and cannonballs, toward the stern of the ship, where they would fish Packer, or his body, from the brine.

What a scene! I'm wondering why they threw Parker overboard and whether or not he'll survive. I hope you're enjoying the story.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features LEARNIN’ THE ROPES.
Love the cover. The excerpt reminds me of Jack London's "Sea Wolf".
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I have a quote from a Grisham legal thriller this week:

I appreciate how the author cares to provide enough detail to paint a clear picture of the surroundings around the prose; great teaser!

I was thinking the same as P.D. More Sea Wolf than Moby Dick, lol.
