Ken Norton is a GhostWalker, one of an elite military team
of physically and psychically enhanced soldiers created by
a scientist with an evil bent. Ken has been captured,
tortured and nearly skinned alive by captors and is only
holding on to his sanity by a thread, with the help of his
twin, Jack. During a mission to protect a senator, Ken
captures Marigold, a sniper he thinks is there to take the
senator out.
Marigold, or Mari as she's known by her fellow captives, is
also a soldier trained by the same scientist. By the time
Ken and Mari realize that the scientist has done something
to them -- something to their pheromones that makes them
drawn to one another -- it's too late. They're each
irresistible to the other. Now they must find a way to free
the other female captives held by the scientist and his
team of killers. But Ken doesn't know if Mari will stay
with him or go into hiding once the others are freed, even
though his brother is married to her twin. Mari wants to
get to know her twin, Briony, but she's also learned she
can't trust anyone but herself with her welfare.
DEADLY GAME is one of those stories you start and then
can't do anything else until you've finished it -- and are
then sorry when it's done. The dialogue is snappy, the
characters totally believable and the setting is beautiful.
The bad guy gives you cold chills and makes you hope there
isn't someone like him behind the scenes in the real world,
even though in your secret heart, you're afraid there is.
The plight of the girls will tear at your heartstrings and
make you want to gather them together into a big, sloppy
group hug. So let the dishes go, wait until tomorrow to
fold the laundry, give the spreadsheet to someone else to
do and tell the boss you're taking a mental health day.
Pick this one up at your favorite bookstore and settle in
for a long, comfy afternoon. I loved this one and I'll bet
you will too. A very good read.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan explores the limits of endurance and the boundaries of passion in a life-and-death struggle to survive in this GhostWalker novel...
It begins as a mission to protect a politician from an assassination threat. But the operation takes an unexpected turn when Mari, a mysteriously beautiful GhostWalker, is taken hostage.
