First Line Friday is a weekly feature and simple to do - grab the book nearest you and post the first line. Carrie hosts this over on her blog Reading is my Superpower.
I woke up early that morning in September 2013 around 5 a.m.
Happy Reading!

"Dr John C Clark, a bespectacled middle-aged man who looked like a university professor, had earned his reputation as the US Atomic Energy Commission's triggerman. He had carried out more nuclear tests in his career than anyone else in the field and twice presided over the harrowing task of disarming an atomic bomb after it failed to go off."

The fact that EVERYONE has nukes now is terrifying.
DeleteA 'slight' exaggeration... but I take your point! [grin] I find the problem with nuclear reactors is that they're completely safe - right up to the point of exploding and rendering the land around them uninhabitable for a thousand generations....
DeleteHow dare you accuse me of exaggerating!! lol
DeleteChernobyl is the absolute perfect prime example.
I'm currently reading Secondary Target by Angela Carlisle. It is so good!

You as well, happy reading!
