The sound that silenced Malbool was an unnaturally deep growl, felt more than heard, as if from below the range of normal human hearing. It resonated in our stomachs, and we froze. It was right in front of us.

The Rule of Knowledge by Scott Baker
Faith, history, science and love collide in this fast-paced action adventure.
High school teacher Shaun Strickland is shocked when he receives a last-minute invitation from Cambridge University to deliver a paper on the relationship between space and time, something he has been studying for years. This could be the break he s been longing for. But as he and his wife drive through the cold North Carolina night to catch their flight, their car slams hard into something exploding from the bushes. From that moment, a mind-bending mystery unravels.
A strange package seems to be the key. Breaking the seal, Shaun discovers a bundle of ancient documents written in Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. But there is something else amongst the pages; a book, seemingly sealed airtight for millennia, written in perfect English, telling a story that will change history.
Soon Shaun discovers others are after the book . . . and they won t let anything stand in their way. A debut action thriller that will keep you turning the pages until you have all the answers.
Teaser Tuesdays 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Intriguing teaser. I like fast-paced books.

Sounds really good!
Here is my teaser
GREAT description of a low-pitched growl. The writer was clever to use the “feel” of the sound in his description.
My Teaser is from THINGS WE SET ON FIRE.
Uh-oh! Sounds like someone better run. Great tease!

I ilke fast-paced books. Is it a thriller?
It is, Kero… It’s a conspiracy / thriller sort of book, I think, something like Da Vinci Code. I’m only a few chapters in so I can’t tell you much about it yet.
