Synopsis

Cally O'Neal was trained from childhood as a premier killer. Officially listed as dead, for the past forty years she has lived a life of aliases, random lovers and targeted assassinations. This has led her to become the top in her profession, undefeatable, invulnerable. And in the process, she has lost her soul. Now she, and the man she loves, must battle to reclaim it. But Cally will find that leaving her dark world of shadow identities, murder-for-hire, and deadly secrets will be more difficult than any of the many lethal operations she carried out in the past. Her employers think she knows too much to live, and the scores of enemies she has made still have her at the top of their hit lists. The real question is, will she win her soul only to lose her life?

About this title

About the Author:

John Ringo is author of the New York Times best-selling series so far comprising A Hymn Before Battle, Gust Front, When the Devil Dances, and Hell's Faire, and co-author with David Weber of March Upcountry and March to the Sea, the first three books in the popular Prince Roger series. He had visited 23 countries by the time he graduated high school. A veteran of the 82nd Airborne, he brings first-hand knowledge of military operations to his fiction. His latest solo novel is Emerald Sea, the sequel to There will be Dragons.

Julie Cochrane was born in Ohio and and made her first attempts at novels in junior high and high school. Initially studying Chemistry at Georgia Tech, she got her bachelors in psychology and promptly decided that computer science was a better way to earn a living. She lives in the Atlanta Metro area with her husband, their daughter, one very enthusiastic German Shepherd, and the gerbil custodian of the secrets of the universe. Her hobbies include pistol markmanship, history, criminology, Irish language, and folk music.

From AudioFile:

As the most effective assassin on earth, Cally takes advantage of being "officially dead" by living on the fringes of an underground movement that continues its fight against invaders. But her last assignment threatens to break through her seemingly impervious personal shield. Christine Marshall and William Dufris team up as narrators. Their personification of characters is vivid, strong, and distinct, whether they're presenting humans or humanized voices of artificial intelligence devices and a smattering of nonhuman characters. In segments with both narrators, they work well together; their dialogue is quick and sharp. Marshall and Dufris are a well-matched team.
