Synopsis

Where would you hide if you learned the CDC and a major pharmaceutical company unleashed a hyperdeadly microbe on them on race?

CIA operative, Ridley Fox, never stopped hunting his fiancee's killers-a weapons consortium called The Arms of Ares. When an informant leads him to an old bunker outside of Groznyy, Chechnya, Fox is captured, beaten, and left for dead. When the informant rescues him, Fox learns that his capture was no coincidence: someone had set him up-possibly another government agent. Fox barely escapes after learning that Ares has acquired a hyperdeadly microbe - called Pandora - that is believed to have wiped out ancient civilizations. The trail leads Fox to Tokyo where he discovers that people within the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Japanese Intelligence want Pandora for themselves. The only person Fox can trust is a woman from his past who he nearly got killed.

I was pleased to be asked to review this e-book, seeing as doing reviews is something that I've been wanting to do. I give credit to Russell Brooks for drawing in the reader from the very beginning, it's nice to start a book and not have to wait several chapters before the action starts. I have always been into action and adventure books, and this one fueled my love for all of that, as well as included some education on military and weapons.

When I read a book, my imagination goes wild, and this book, with it's details and writing that flowed easily, helped my mind see what I was reading as if in a movie, the plot was fantastic and the ending was amazing, closing the book so that I didn't feel like I needed something else. It made that story close but still left it open to have more adventures with Ridley Fox and his cohorts.

Yea so it's been a month since my last post, I know, bad Marie.... not much has happened....work, school...work, school... that's about it... *chuckles* I will be trying to post more, just not feeling good today, I think I'm getting sick.

Have a good night.

Ok, so in my previous post about this book I assumed that Jenna was a breedmate, but after getting a sneak peak from the contest that Lara ran for her newsletter followers, we are made aware that Jenna may not be a breedmate after all and that she possess some unique gifts, I know some people already have the book, so shhhh no spoiling it, I hope to come across it soon, so that I can read it and give my actual review... can't wait!

At the crossroads of death and desire, a woman tastes a pleasure no mortal is meant to survive . . .
In the frozen Alaskan wilderness, former state trooper Jenna Darrow survives an unspeakable breach of body and soul. But with her narrow escape comes an even greater challenge. For strange changes are taking place within her, as she struggles to understand--and control--a new hunger. To do so, she will seek shelter in the Boston compound of the Order, an ancient race of vampire warriors whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps the most mysterious of them all is Brock, a brooding, dark-eyed alpha male whose hands hold the power to comfort, heal . . . and arouse.


As she recovers under Brock's care, Jenna finds herself drawn to the Order's mission: to stop a ruthless enemy and its army of assassins from subjecting Earth to a reign of terror. Yet in spite of their resolve, a purely physical relationship without strings soon binds Brock and Jenna together with a desire fiercer than life and stronger than death itself--until a secret from Brock's past and Jenna's own mortality challenges their forbidden love to the ultimate trial by fire.
