I picked up Swipe entirely by accident. I was hiding from my brother's dog (which the dog hates) inside my brother's room (which my brother probably hates) and happened to look at my brother's bookshelf. I was bored. Hiding from dogs will do that to a person. At any rate, Swipe was there, waiting for me.

The cover on the version he owns must have been the original--a sort of ghostly green. Hmm, I thought, and read the back. The Mark. Great. A Left Behind ripoff. But I was bored, and the dog was outside the bedroom door. I randomly opened the book. I found a sentence that included the words "Shakespeare in pajamas." Well, I thought. This might not be so bad. Any author who can write about a sixteenth-century playwright being stuck in pajamas probably deserves a read.

So I opened the door, walked out past a very relieved dog, and started reading the novel. I found out that it was Erin Arbitor, and not William Shakespeare, who wore the pajamas. But by then I was hooked. I have a ridiculous fondness for fugitives, and the Dust is one of the greatest groups of fugitives I've come across.
