M. Chandler's "The Morning Star", #34

[katikat]

Simon Drake is an up-and-coming young FBI hotshot, an agent with a personal track record so outstanding that it borders on unbelievable. Not yet thirty, he's already the leader of his own special ops team; a ragtag bunch of talented but nigh-uncontrollable lunatics, it's true, but under Simon's inspired leadership they're a force to be reckoned with, a team with an unparalleled success rate, a team with an almost unblemished record--until now.

Jeremy Archer is the brilliant and unpredictable scion of a long line of international art thieves, simultaneously a phenomenally wealthy English socialite and one of the most infamous criminals in the world. At twenty-seven years old he's already wanted on nearly every continent for thefts totalling more than ninety-one million dollars, and yet no one has ever come close to catching him--until now.

Now?

May the best man win.

Review: First in the "Shadow of the Templar" series. Available in e-book/paperback form from Lulu.com and for free through LJ.

A gay romance/thriller for White Collar fans. No kidding. I mean, an FBI agent and a renown art thief have to work together to stop an international terrorist - and they fall hard for each other. It's like an action/spy version of WhiCo. I liked it a lot - though I would have preferred a bit more description to invoke the right atmosphere. But the banter was funny and the action fast so I'm happy with the book - and glad that I bought the second one with it. I'm curious where the series is headed next.

This is one of my favorite series. :) I'm glad another person found and loved it!
I can definitely say that the books get better and better as they go.

I bought the 2nd one too, from Lulu. I'm really curious where Chandler wants to take it... And it's great to know that the series gets even better! Thank you :)
