Quotes by Ward Larsen (?)

“and bathroom before”
― Ward Larsen, The Perfect Assassin

“As ever, fate traveled as a quiet companion.”
― Ward Larsen, Passenger 19

“The surroundings contrasted wildly with the tedium of the occasion. The ballroom’s crystalline chandeliers hovered like glittering clouds and bolts of red velvet lined the walls. Altogether, it instilled a distinctly regal aura. Convening the monthly briefing here was akin to eating borscht and dumplings at the Grand Palace. Yet as with all of Yermilov’s directives, it was done with a purpose. As kings and emperors had recognized for millennia, the trappings of wealth were not for the pleasure of the regent—they were a blunt demonstration of power.”
― Ward Larsen, Tom Clancy Rules of Engagement
