The Friday 56 #38 The Hunt for Atlantis by Andy McDermott

This is a fun meme to do hosted by Freda's Voice. If you'd like to join in the fun go to The Friday 56.

Rules:

*Post it.
*Link it here.

I'm reading an action adventure, "The Hunt for Atlantis", by Andy McDermott. The quote is from page 56 in the large print hardcover.


Living in New York, Nina was no stranger to threatening-looking characters, but there was something about this one that made her nervous. She looked up the street at the approaching traffic, but kept the man in the corner of her vision.

    Interesting how those lines don't seem to go with the cover of the book. Thanks for Sharing!

    Very creepy. I wonder if he's as threatening as she thinks he is.

    Good one...I wonder what makes him so suspicious.

    But is he a good guy trying to be discrete or a bad guy out to do harm. Very curious. I think I'd enjoy this book.
