Book Excerpt for the Day

    ”What’s taking your friends,” Filipov asked for the hundredth time.  “They keep on stalling.”


    To his surprise, the man’s eyes finally met his.  It made him uneasy.


    “You complain of the silence of my friends?”


    “Right, exactly.”


    “In that case, I apologize on their behalf.  But let me assure you that, when the time comes, they will be delighted to meet you.  Although I fear that, on the off chance you survive the encounter, you’ll wish you hadn’t met them.”



    (from The Obsidian Chamber by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child)
