First Lines Friday #361, April 13th

First Lines Friday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie of Precision Reviews. We encourage all of our fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.

-Grab your current read(s)
-Share the first line(s)
-Include the title and author so that other FLF participants can add the book to their TBR Lists!

"'Send up another, damn you, send them all up, at once if you have to,' Lawrence said savagely to poor Calloway, who did not deserve to be sworn at: the gunner was firing off the flares so quickly his hands were scorched black, skin cracking and peeling to bright red where some powder had spilled onto his fingers; he was not stopping to wipe them clean before setting each flare to the match." -Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik

Yeah, this is a pretty action-packed opening! I need to read more! What about you guys? Happy reading!
