Publisher's Summary

Deadly Game begins as a mission to protect a politician from an assassination threat. But the operation takes an unexpected turn when Mari, a mysteriously beautiful GhostWalker, is taken hostage. At the same time, Ken Norton, expert assassin and himself a GhostWalker warrior, is on a mission of his own - one that reaches into Mari's own past.

A Light Touch

Any additional comments?

Each series makes you realize that the series could go on for ever. When we first met Jess in another book he is beaten so unto death but because of other Ghost Walkers he has a chance to live. Now we see there are more Ghost Walker teams than just one or two. Saber tells us that the doctor has more sites were he is training more women as well as men. Even though the doctor has matched up the couples they realize that it does not matter because they do develop feeling for each other. This book as not as sexually explicit like the earlier books but it does have the sexual tension between the couple. If you miss out in the beginning of the series you will not understand the true attraction of the characters or which team you are following.

Real military language

Would you consider the audio edition of Deadly Game to be better than the print version?

No-written word and the spoken word two different entities.

Would you be willing to try another book from Christine Feehan? Why or why not?

Yes, but some of the female narrators are not strong enough to carry off a male character (too weak). Best when she has both male/female narrators.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Deadly Game-yes.

Deadly Game

I love the all these books with the ghost walkers. I wish you had all of the ghost walkers books on tape. Deadly Game was wonderful. Can't wait to see if they get Dr. Whittney.

Broken But Not Down

What did you love best about Deadly Game?

Ken was broken in every way, but stronger than any man could hope to be.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ken. After his torture he struggled to find ways to live and remain human. He found his humanity in spades.

Which scene was your favorite?

I can't stick to one favorite scene. There were two that wouldn't let me go. When he was there with Marigold through the doctor's examination. He took her away from that horror. Then he saved her from the rape by the one she thought was her friend. Both reeled me in and broke my heart. She was so brave and it was sad that she had to be.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Broken Beauty, Broken Beast

words are chopped off

I like this series. I like this book, I've bought it three times now. the audible version - all through this version, there are a lot of words where the end is chopped off. There are not quite as many words that the beginning is chopped off. Even knowing this book, I would have to back it up because something didn't make sense due to the last syllable of a word being gone or partially gone.

Deadly Game

I read the book previously and don't remember it being so difficult to stay interested in but even with the wonderful narration this book did not hold my attention for long. In fact, I went on to several other books before coming back to this one to finish it.

Another excellent addition 2 an awesome series

Any additional comments?

A Thoroughly enjoyable book. Christine has a way of drawing you into the story and is able to keep you grasping for more. Ken is a hard ass man and has scars on the inside and out. Both Mari and Ken have been caged and used as test subjects so have endured extensive abuse from the notorious Whitney and his crew. This is a beautiful love story with them both opening up to each other mentally and physically. There are Hot sex scenes and lot's of action. I am really enjoying this great series and will be grabbing the next book asap.

Well Read Book

I enjoy Christine Feehan books to read and now to listen to. Very well read and I will be buying more of these to listen to

Deadly Game

I discovered this series of books on Audible almost by accident but have since become hooked, each book can be read in isolation but each has characters which appear in more than one book. The characters are interesting and well developed and the whole idea of people with enhanced mental and physical abilities is facinating but mainly the stories are an exciting and fast paced throughly enjoyable good read.

The reader's voice (Tom Schecshulte?)is very well suited to the this type story and adds significantly to the setting of the scene and portrayal of the characters. All in all it is an enjoyable escapist read.
