Following up on my cast about opening sentences/paragraphs, here are the opening sentences from my first two novels. Definitely not as happy with the how I started the second novel! 1) Revenge is a Dish Best Served on the Mongolian Steppe Prologue "Furtive Khan Global’s head office occupied two floors of a nondescript nineteenth-century building tucked away on one of the small, meandering side streets just off Istiklal Ҫaddesi that have been confounding tourists for centuries." Chapter 1 "They said only fools and mineral men came to Mongolia in the middle of winter. Intikam was feeling very much the fool as he stepped off the train on a brutally cold afternoon in Ulaanbaatar, the landlocked country’s capital city." 2) Bound by Crimson Threads "Intikam Ҫobanoğlu, interloper for the industrial espionage agency, Furtive Khan Global, was on the homestretch of an agonizing thirty-hour trip from Istanbul to Delhi. "

First sentence: Great description, draws reader in. Second sentence: Interesting setup, sets stakes for protagonist.
