Teaser Tuesday 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 and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.
Teaser Tuesday #39 – This Shattered World
This week’s teaser is from This Shattered World. I’ve been looking forward to this book ever since I finished reading These Broken Stars – which was my favorite book of 2013!
This Shattered World (Starbound #2) – Amie Kaufmann and Meagan Spooner
Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac should never have met.
Lee is captain of the forces sent to Avon to crush the terraformed planet’s rebellious colonists, but she has her own reasons for hating the insurgents.
Rebellion is in Flynn’s blood. Terraforming corporations make their fortune by recruiting colonists to make the inhospitable planets livable, with the promise of a better life for their children. But they never fulfilled their promise on Avon, and decades later, Flynn is leading the rebellion.
Desperate for any advantage in a bloody and unrelentingly war, Flynn does the only thing that makes sense when he and Lee cross paths: he returns to base with her as prisoner. But as his fellow rebels prepare to execute this tough-talking girl with nerves of steel, Flynn makes another choice that will change him forever. He and Lee escape the rebel base together, caught between two sides of a senseless war.

Wariness tingles at the base of my neck, my gaze sharpening. Here on Avon, different usually means dangerous.[/dropshadowbox]
What’s your teaser today? Please share – it’s not as if a few more books on my TBR mountain will make that big of a difference 😉

I love this series, Beth, but I am also a Sci-Fi fan, so there 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Ooh! I like the ominous feeling of your tease! I hope you’re loving (did love) This Shattered World just as much as you loved These Broken Stars. I still have TBS on my desk…waiting for me to give it some love. 🙂

These Broken Stars, the first in this series is amazing, too, Liesel.
