My first ghostwalkers book. My favorites are this one about Ken and the one about his brother Jack. Somehow these two men just seem more alive than most of Feehan's heros in this series. ( )

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: 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. At the same time, Ken Norton, expert assassin and himself a GhostWalker warrior, is on a mission of his own—one that reaches into Mari’s own past. No stranger to the ways of violent warfare, Mari must join forces with Ken and trust his every move—each one more intimate than the last. ( )

Ken Norton is the twin brother of Jack Norton they are members of the elite Ghostwalkers, both are matchless snipers. Jack has settled down with Briony and now Ken encounters Marigold, Briony's twin sister, on a mission. He captures her and intends to bring her to Briony. However, a lot of things began to go wrong and they realize there are many plots by Dr. Whitney that they have to overcome. Christine Feehan wrote a realistic, true to life story about intense and sometimes dark characters. We don't have to always love them to enjoy and understand them! ( )

This doesn't really read any differently from the other books in the series: a lot of repetition (which seems to be a writing flaw for Feehan), major violence, broken-ish women and/or men... ( )

22/11/07 Seemed like this book must have been part of a series and I saw another review just now mentioning that it is book 5 of the Ghostwalker series. I might read more of the series.
