Marine Corp Sergeant Khatereh Shinwari watches the Taliban
as they get ready to attack a SEAL team in the Hindu Kush
Mountains. Khat is a black ops sniper and she begins
picking off the Taliban one by one, but not before Petty
Officer Michael Tarik is blown into a wadi and injured.
When the fire fight is over, Khat goes down the mountain,
gets Mike and takes him back to her cave to give him
medical attention. With a gash on his head and a broken
arm, Mike won't be moving soon. The ensuing days bring
Khat
and Mike into a special relationship of mutual trust. When
he is airlifted off the mountain, Mike promises Khat he
will find her again.
Several turn of events bring Khat right into Camp Bravo
where Mike is stationed. Their relationship grows even
stronger, and Mike feels he is falling in love. When Khat
leaves suddenly, Mike is heartbroken, but doesn't give up
fighting to get her back down off the mountain. Strings
are
pulled, and Khat is reassigned to Camp Bravo, meaning she
must go there for her supplies. When she returns to the
forward operating base, Khat learns that Mike will return
to the mountains with her to map out the goat trails and
rat lines for Intelligence. They make a good team, until
they get split up when Khat hangs back to take out a group
of Taliban. Will Mike be able to find Khat again?
TAKING FIRE is another book in Lindsay McKenna's Shadow
Warriors series. Khat is a Shadow Warrior and has been on
this mountain working alone for five years. Both Khat and
Mike have warrior personalities: strong, brave and
stubborn. The plot of this story thrusts you into the
action of a fire fight at the very beginning, then lulls
you into a tender romance.
However, there are several
unexpected turns and twists that will keep you riveted to
the story until you turn the final page. TAKING FIRE is a
story about healing: physical, emotional and
psychological. TAKING FIRE is also a story about the pull
of family and kinship,
and it's hard not to become emotionally involved with the
characters and their struggles. All of Ms. McKenna's
Shadow
Warriors books are great, and she is expanding Khat and
Mike's story, as well as Bay and Gabe's, in a novella
coming out soon, Zone of Fire. Don't miss any of them!
She dances on the edge of life--and death
Not all are meant to walk in the light. Marine Corps
Sergeant Khat Shinwari lives among the shadows of the
rocky
Afghani hills, a Shadow Warrior by name and by nature. She
works alone, undercover and undetected—until a small team
of
US Navy SEALs are set upon by the Taliban…and Khat is
forced
to disobey orders to save their lives.
To go rogue.
Now, hidden deep in the hills with injured SEAL Michael
Tarik in her care, Khat learns that he's more than just a
sailor. In him, she sees something of herself and of what
she could be. Now duty faces off against the raw,
overwhelming attraction she has for Mike. And she must
decide between the safety of the shadows…and risking
everything by stepping into the light.
