It takes calculation to win a duel against a reptile, and you've always been impatient.
It seemed like people could go one of two ways: Either freak out and start rioting, or they actually act like human beings in trouble out to, and look out for one another. When LA blacked out, there h...
It never rains, I moaned. Tera frowned at me. It is raining now. She turned to Susan. I do not think he is coherent. I snorted and looked around blearily. It’s a figure of speech.
It isn’t that simple, Harry. No matter where you go, there you are. Look, I’ve had a long night. I know, my double said. Believe me, I know. That’s why it’s important to get some of this out now, befo...
It isn't a club, I said calmly. It's a walking stick.Six feet long.It's traditional Ozark folk art.With dents and nicks all over it.I thought about it for a second. I'm insecure?Get a blanket. He held...
It is the nature of the universe that things remain. Nothing ever disappears completely. The very sound of Creation still echoes throughout the vast darkness: The universe remembers.
It is going to work, I told her, keeping my tone confident. We’ll breeze right in. The Rack will be with us. Justine glanced at me with an arched eyebrow. The Rack? The Rack is more than just boobs, J...
It hurts! bellowed Ramirez drunkenly, flinging a last pair of bolts at a fleeing ghoul. Ow! Ow, it hurts! It hurts to be this *good*!

If I'd realized how rabid he was to catch me slipping, I wouldn't have added more fuel to his fire by hitting him in the mouth.Okay. I probably still would have hit him in the mouth. But I wouldn't ha...
If I stay, they'll kill me... If I go, at least everything that wants me dead won't be taking it personally.
I... briefly wondered why I kept running into repeat uses of various locations around town. This wasn't the first time I'd dealt with the bad guys choosing to reuse a location different bad guys had u...
I've never lost a duel to the death. Not one.
I've got blisters and muscle cramps in places not meant for the touch of anything but a beautiful woman, Max spat back sullenly. I've bitten my tongue so many times in the past three days that I whist...
I'd hate to find out that the universe really wasn't conspiring against me. It would jerk the rug out from under my persecution complex.
I will make Maggie safe. If the world burns because of that then so be it. Me and the kid will roast some marshmallows.
I was sitting in my lab, my hand spread open on the table, while the skull examined my palm.I'd worn a mark there for years--an unblemished patch of skin amidst all the burn scars, in the perfect shap...
I thought I told you I didn't want to talk to you, Mr. Dresden. I like women who play hard to get.
