Publisher Description
In a world so dark and seductive, expect nothing less than a triple-cross in this explosive Ghostwalker novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan…
In an underground club, a high-ranking public official spends his secret nights indulging in fantasies as exciting as they are depraved. For a seductive employee of the Dungeon, it’s her job to fulfill them. But she’s playing a far more dangerous game—one of blackmail, politics, and murder that reaches into the shadow world of the Ghostwalkers, and the creation of a spectacular, one-of-a-kind new weapon of defense.
But when a dictator makes his own catastrophic moves, the Ghostwalkers have no choice but to bring in two major players—a man and woman both driven by passion and revenge. Both expendable. Both with nothing left to lose.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Feehan's 10th GhostWalker novel (after Ruthless Game) is a suspenseful psychic romance burdened by an opening section that lacks plausibility. Azami Yoshiie and Ghostwalker Sam Johnson meet and fall in love during a lengthy attack on the GhostWalker compound. Their lust-filled introduction while in mortal danger doesn't wash, even though both were psychically enhanced by an evil genius. Dr. Whitney used his brilliance to help create a secret military force. On the side he experimented with little girls, many of whom, like Azami, he tortured and then threw away. Now Azami is a successful software expert and Mission Impossible level assassin, and she vows to thwart Whitney's nefarious manipulations, which currently involve sacrificing Sam to an assault on a corrupt Congolese general. Sam doubts Azami's loyalties, but she soon proves her worth to the team. Strongly intertwined thriller and romantic elements tip the balance in favor of the romance, which quickly turns poignant, but that initial credibility issue looms large.
Customer Reviews
Unfortunate
This book didn't seem to be written with the usual thought and complexity that was prevalent in the previous Ghost Walker books. Disappointing.
Not on her usual level
Used to a better read from Freehan
Disappointing Effort
Freehan seemed to make the least amount of effort to put forth a good story. After reading all of her other books, this one falls short and flat. The leading lady is never given depth or ever accomplishes anything but getting laid. Her main man, more worried about looking like an ox and fantasizing about his ladies oral skills. Perhaps Feehan should be reminded that a lack of good writing shows a complacency that will drive away fans.
