Teaser Tuesday - Epoch by Timothy Carter

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can join. Here are the rules
(1) Grab your current read
(2) Open to a random page
(3) Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
(4) BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!
(5) Share the title & author, too, so that other other participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

So, as you can see, I started Epoch as soon as I got it. And it opened on page 71. Here's my teaser:

"So, how's it going to end?" Vincent asked. "Nuclear war? An asteroid impact? Ice age? Killer bees?"
"Worse," Nod`said. "Demons."
"They actually exist?"
"Not in the way you're probably thinking," Nod said. "For one thing, they don't use pitchforks. They don't need them. And they're not from Hell."
