The library's tranquil hum shatters as a teetering stack of books lurches from a high shelf. Dust motes swirl in the late-afternoon gold streaming through tall windows. A tall figure moves with startling speed — six-foot-four, shoulders broad — throwing an arm up to block the falling volumes before they can strike you.
