One kind of odd thing is that all of these covers show the title as Far Flies the Eagle, but the edition that I am reading has the title as Far Fly the Eagle. Anyway, enough about hard to find covers.
The book is set in the lead up and duration of the Russian war with Napoleon. The teaser comes from page 100:
"Either we stand and fight, Sire, or we make peace with Napoleon. The temper of the army and the Court won't stand another retreat."Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!
Retreating is giving up. He's right. Can't retreat. Great Teaser.
ReplyDeleteI feel your frustration with the cover issue. I'm the same way.
ReplyDeletePoor Russia -- it was a tough decision.
Beth, it doesn't happen very often but still very frustrating when it does!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Tea!
Never heard of Evelyn.
ReplyDeleteI bet I would love this book! Great teaser, Marg!
ReplyDeleteI definitely enjoyed your teaser. It's strange that the title was changed, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser: http://iousex.blogspot.com/2012/01/teaser-tuesday-jan-3.html
The book sounds interesting but the covers leave a lot to be desired! I am thinking this series needs to be rereleaed again...
ReplyDeleteKailana, they are all old covers. The first one is good enough to be rereleased. Not sure about this third one!
ReplyDeleteSandy, I would understand if it was totally changed, but not just by one word.
Zibilee, the first couple of books in the trilogy were really good. This one was very battle and diplomacy heavy.
Fredamans, I hadn't heard of her before a couple of months ago either.
Good teaser. I actually like seeing the different covers books have worn through the years. It's interesting how styles change.
