Karen’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Anomaly

The Anomaly by Hervé Le Tellier

Besides, he doesn’t trust metaphors. The Trojan War must have started like that. Still, he knows that it would take only one of his sentences being more intelligent than he is for this miracle to make a writer of him.

Exit Strategy (The Murderbot Diaries, #4)

by Martha Wells
