Tara Chace may be the most dangerous woman alive. She can seduce you into
believing she's the woman of your dreams--or kill you with the icy efficiency
of an executioner. As the new head of Special Operations for British
Intelligence, she no longer has to court death in the field--she wants to.
Throw away the old rules, the old school, the old-boy network. The world of
international espionage is about to learn the hard way that spying is no longer
merely... A GENTLEMAN'S GAME Greg Rucka's electrifying thrillers have pushed
the boundaries of suspense fiction to where few have dared to go. Now, in A
Gentleman's Game, one of the genre's most fearless writers brings readers of
international espionage his most fearless heroine yet: a no-holds-barred woman
who's as lethal as an assassin's bullet. When an unthinkable act of terror
devastates London, nothing will stop Tara Chace from hunting down those
responsible. Her job is simple: stop the terrorists before they strike a second
time. To succeed, she'll do anything and everything it takes. She'll have to
kill again. Only this time the personal stakes will be higher than ever before.
For the terrorist counterstrike will require that Tara allow herself to be used
as bait by the government she serves. This time she's turning her very life
into a weapon that can be used only once. But as she and her former mentor race
toward destiny at a remote terrorist training camp in Saudi Arabia, Tara begins
to question just who's pulling the trigger--and who's the real enemy. In this
new kind of war, betrayal can take any form. . . including one's duty to queen
and country. Based on the graphic novel series that won the coveted Eisner
Award, A Gentleman's Game is an electrifyingly realistic, headline-stealing
thriller with an unforgettable protagonist--one who redefines every rule she
doesn't shatter.
wow, another great one by rucka, tara chace is something else, and this book
kept me on the edge of my seat, although it took me 3 months to read it, that's
another story, but a great read, if you can get by all the muslim names an
dplaces, which i just skipped over, LOL, Don
every day is a curmudgeonly day!
