The Ghost Walker team are put in the Indonesian jungle on an
extraction mission. A deadly virus has been unleashed by
terrorists and rescue workers are endangered. During the
extraction Dr. Draden Freeman finds himself shot by a dart
and knows he is infected. Rather than endanger his teammates
he slips back to the ground and forces them to leave him
behind. He promises to try to stay in touch and begins to
play a TOXIC GAME with the enemy.
Shylah Cosmos is sent to track the virus but stay hidden.
When she sees Draden, she knows he is a Ghost Walker as she
watches the lethal ease as he removes the terrorists one by
one. When a lucky shot takes him down, she doesn't know he
has the virus; she only knows she has to save him. Now with
both of them exposed they can only continue the TOXIC GAME
and hope that the other team members who didn't go very far
from their teammate can find a cure.
TOXIC GAME is the best of the Ghost
Walkers in a number of offerings. Draden and Shylah
make an amazing team. With the virus they must face the fact
that they have found their perfect match and don't have any
idea how long they will live. You will feel a mixture of
emotions as you read this, fear, hope, of course, love.
There is also some humor interspersed in this especially
when Shylah was teasing Draden about his good looks. I loved
the byplay with her name, she hates the name Peony (the one
crazy Dr. Whitney had given the orphaned child), but Draden
had memories of that particular flower that made her like it
after all.
In the last few of the Ghost
Walkers books, I had a bit of trouble with the
darker path Ms. Feehan had been taking her teams. They were
borderline abusive toward their mates, and it was sometimes
hard to read. I did not feel that with TOXIC GAME. They were
quickly partners, in survival and in the getting rid of the
terrorists. There is a sweetness that has been missing from
this series, and it proves even macho, overprotective,
arrogant jerks ... hmmm ... men can do loving and sweet
things for their women.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine
Feehan takes readers into the hot zone in this
pulse-pounding GhostWalker novel.
On a rescue mission in the heart of the Indonesian jungle,
Dr. Draden Freeman and his GhostWalker team need to extract
the wounded as quickly as possible—or risk spreading a
deadly virus unleashed by a terrorist cell. When Draden gets
infected, he forces his team to leave him behind. He won’t
risk exposing anyone else. He intends to find the ones
responsible and go out in a blaze of glory....
Shylah Cosmos’s mission is to track the virus and remain
unseen. Her enhanced senses tell her that the gorgeous man
eradicating the terrorists one by one is a GhostWalker—and
his lethal precision takes her breath away. When he’s hit by
a lucky shot, she can’t stop herself from stepping in, not
knowing that by saving his life she’s exposed herself to the
virus.
There’s no telling how much time Draden and Shylah have
left. Racing to find a cure, they quickly realize that
they’ve found their perfect partner just in time to lose
everything. But even as the virus threatens to consume their
bodies, they’ve never felt more alive.
