Teaser Tuesdays: The Chimera Seed

Happy Teaser Tuesdays! This week your teaser is from The Chimera Seed which author Matthew Tully sent my way. I’m really enjoying this one so far. It’s a thriller about the discovery of a drug with the potential to give its recipient immortality. Problem is, it can kill you as well. Pharmaceutical espionage abounds!

 ”Here we are,” said Falters, dropping Jimmy to the ground. “I would try to die soon, if I were you.” Falters turned and walked back to the house. As Jimmy lay decomposing, it occured to him that his 15 minutes as a chick magnet were not quite what he had envisioned. (169)

Post your teaser links here and at Should Be Reading. Cheers!
