The Coil

De: Gayle Lynds

Narrado por: Kate Reading

In MASQUERADE, Liz Sansborough embarked on a terrifying journey that took her into the perilous world of high-level espionage. THE COIL picks up years afterwards, when Liz has managed to put her life back together and is settling into her place in academia. But when prominent political figures are murdered, and when she herself is the target of an assassination attempt, she is drawn back into the world of intrigue and The Coil conspiracy she once knew. The great shock of several years ago - that her own father was the Carnivore, the greatest of the post Cold War assassins - has led her to a secretive group called "The Coil," which is centered on her father's legacy. Now, she must use her powers - both as secret agent and as moral agent - to survive.

HUGE FAN!!!

I got turned on to Gayle Lynds when I realized that she was actually the author of some of the Robert Ludlum "Covert-One" novels. I enjoyed them so much that I began to look for her other books. This was my first and I was hooked! She is fantastic! Her characters are great and stories exciting and suspenseful!

I'm a big fan!!! If you like Ludlum, you'll love Gayle Lynds!

A great follow-up

Although this book can be enjoyed without having read the author's Masquerade, I don't think it can be fully appreciated. Both are excellent stories and well-paced. The narration of The Coil is good, but I didn't care for Ms. Reading's male British accents very much. Not distracting enough to lessen the book's enjoyment, but distracting none-the-less.
