The following selection comes from chapter
four; I really enjoyed this selection because of the intensity and action in
this chapter. In this chapter Nailer was under water in a sunken boat looking
for anything that could make some money. However one of the people in his
group, Sloth, trapped him in the boat, and he thought he would lose his life.
In this part of the text he has managed to escape from the boat and is coming
out of the water. This part of the text it is really descriptive, and shows him
coming out of the water barly alive. I hope you enjoy this passage, I have also
included two versions of the cover for your enjoyment.
He blasted into open air.
Nailer's stomach dropped out of him.
Free fall. Involuntarily, his eyes opened. Stinging oil and scalding sun.
A mirror bright ocean, almost white with its intensity. Blue waves rushed
up to meet him. He had only a second to twist—
He smashed into water. Sea salt swallowed
him. The surge and swell of an oily sea. The roll of breakers. Nailer
surged upward, kicking for the surface. Broke out into sunlight and
waves, gasping. He sucked air, flooding his lungs with shining clean
oxygen, starved for all the life he’d been sure he’d lost.
