Valkyrie

Chooser of the Slain, Book 1

De: Michael Anderle

Narrado por: Megan Tusing

What would happen if Odin decided to get involved in Midgard again?

Our world is tearing itself apart. The evil among us are ripping apart the very seams of today's society, using terrorism and blackmail to create chaos.

Valerie Kearie, mead lover and history major, joins the mercenary company Viking, Inc. as a prospective business analyst. Her first mission is supposed to be a cakewalk.

Tracking down a digital terrorist known as CLEOPATRA, Valerie and her partner Jacob Pinkerton need to figure out the identity of the elusive mastermind and stop the attacks before they are killed for their efforts.

Moving from one dangerous case to another, Valerie can't understand why she is loving the running and gunning aspect of her new job way more than any sane person should.

Then there is the obscure historical knowledge that she shouldn't know . . . and yet.

Valerie isn't a wallflower, but she is having difficulties coming to grips with the new abilities and odd thoughts that emerge as she is drawn deeper into her new reality. Can Valerie figure out why she is changing before she lands herself and Jacob in trouble too deep to escape?

Incognito

The main protagonist of the story is named Valerie, with a last name (phonetically) Kyrie, and is frequently called Val Kyrie by her coworkers. She has grown up with a military family and trained in martial arts.

Being recruited by Valkyrie, Inc. she is sent on a ‘testing’ op. I’m still not sure why they sent her to a potential hotbed on her 2nd day. But she has been touched by Odin and things evolve from there.

Well read and interesting premise, I do like a book with strong women.

Gonna be a great series

Well Michael you have my attention again. Valkyrie will be a wonderful series. Some woo woo and urban thriller. This is a young woman who is a Valkyrie in a past life and is again wakened by Mr. Big. She is starting to manifest but is unaware yet.
Her family is all military and Black ops. Now she has become a contractor with a specialty in security, cybersecurity, and protecting intellectual property.
I really just started but am so impressed that I had to start this review. Very nice. I miss Bethany Anne but Val will be great. Try it and see.

Lovely narrator

Does excellent accents. Hope they do the whole series for audible, it really makes books more accessible.

Really good start to what I hope is a great series!

This book was well written and is a really great start to what I sincerely hope is a great series

It'll be interesting to see where this goes

I can deduce from the name and the subject matter that this story has more depth than what appears here. I'm not sure what to make of it yet and will wait to hold judgment off until the next installment.
