Product Description

Product Description

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?

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, 11 Oct 2004
By Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Cally O'Neal had always lived in danger. By the age of eight she'd killed her first person. While her father, Iron Mike, was off fighting the invading Posleen she had been raised by her grandfather, practically on the front-lines of a war that had erased five billion humans from the face of the earth.

By the end of the war she had been listed as dead. In truth, she'd been recruited into the elite ranks of the Bane Sidhe, a group of underground warriors dedicated to breaking the strangle-hold of the elf-like Darhel. For forty years Cally has gone on mission after mission. She completely changed her appearance and personality more often than others changed their socks ... and seemingly much easier.

Now, in the year 2047, Cally goes to Titan Base, hunting a mole. The team take out the real Captain Sinda Makepeace and inserts Cally. But she never expects to fall in love with one of the enemy.

***** Cally is one of the best assassins I have read in Sci-Fi thus far. She reminded me at times, especially while being tortured, of Robert A. Heinlein's main character in the book titled "Friday". She does whatever it takes to get the job done. Killing comes as naturally to Cally as breathing. Authors John Ringo and Julie Cochrane did an excellent job in teaming up to create a story for the little girl I recall from previous books. This is not the first of the series and you do not HAVE to read the others to thoroughly understand all that is going on. Outstanding! *****

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read, 12 Mar 2005
I read this book in a day. It is worth the money, and has an engaging plot line, different from the other books in the series (a distinct lack of alien hordes numbering in the millions, and of conventional units being rescued by the ACS).
That said, there are bits where the story seems to drag slightly. These are few and far between, however.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring, 7 Feb 2008
This review is from: Cally's War (Posleen War) (Mass Market Paperback)
Hmmmm. I thought this book dragged. The opening scene I found gratuitously violent, even if meant to demonstrate that Cally will do anything to complete a mission, but after that long sections of arid prose until suddenly...nothing happens. Try Greg Rucka's Joanna Dark series or, better yet, anything by Tanya Huff, particularly the Valor series.
