SHADOW GAME

Author: Christine Feehan ISBN: 0515135968 9/2003 CONTEMPORARY Publisher: JOVE

The classified experiment is the brainchild of renowned scientist Peter Whitney and his brilliant daughter, Lily. Created to enhance the psychic abilities of an elite squadron, it can transform their natural mental powers into a unique military weapon. But something goes wrong. In the isolated underground labs, the men have been dying-victims of bizarre accidents. Captain Ryland Miller knows he is next. When Dr. Whitney himself is murdered, Ryland has only one person left to trust: the beautiful Lily. Possessed of an uncanny sixth sense herself, Lily shares Ryland's every new fear, every betrayal, every growing suspicion, and every passionate beat of the heart. Together, they will be drawn deeper into the labyrinth of her father's past…and closer to a secret that someone would kill to keep hidden.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Christine Feehan comes through for her fans once more with her new release SHADOW GAME. Not only is the storyline captivating, the hero, Captain Ryland Miller, and heroine, Dr. Lily Whitney, have the book steaming up in your hands. Boy, did I wish to be the bread dough Ryland was kneading in the kitchen!

Those familiar with Feehan's style will recognize some similarities between this book and her Carpathian series. Most of the characters have enhanced physical abilities and are telepathic, but the scientific and military twist on the story gives it a fresh look. In fact, this book makes you wonder just what kind of experiments our government is doing!

All in all this is a top pick for me though the Carpathian series is better. With some sexy secondary characters and some loose ends not tied up, Christine Feehan is obviously setting up for some sequels. I am anxiously awaiting every one of them.
