Teaser Tuesday : The Zookeeper's War


Teaser Tuesdays hosted by Should Be Reading asks you to:

  • Grab your current read

  • Let the book fall open to a random page

  • Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.

  • You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!

  • Do NOT post anything that could spoil the plot of the book!

The Zookeeper's War by Steven Conte Pg32

This was a shock - he'd expected disappointment, not punishment. Already he'd attended too many funerals of former zookeepers killed in the front. 'Without those staff stock will die,' he said. 'If that's your aim, just say no, and we'll pack off the animals to an abattoir. They'd suffer less, and the ministry would save on fodder.' Striped of sarcasm , he realised, the idea was unpleasantly plausible.
