Quotes by Gary Spechko (?)

“Turchon said, “I assigned Nichdu as your mentor because he is steadfast, competent, knowledgeable, and boring.” Nichdu, who’d begun smiling, interjected, “Hey!” Turchon continued, “How is it that you’ve managed to entangle him in such a situation?”
― Gary Spechko, The Black Rose of Helvetia
