Lorna Tedder (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1999 | Series: Lorelei Files (Book 1)

An abandoned baby brings back paralyzing memories for a tough-as-nails negotiator for the Department of Defense. Tired of being everyone else's pillar of strength, L. Madison Steele longs for the luxury of being weak-just once-but too many people depend on her. Framed for espionage and murder, Madison must reach deep into her soul if she is to recover stolen biological warfare secrets and ultimately save the world. .....Lt. Jon Colter, son of a psychic hypnotherapist and a militia leader, knows a terrifying secret: that far too many people-from the Iraqi government to international terrorists to backyard militia groups to the kid down the street-have access to biological weapons and reason to use them. Reluctant to accept his own psychic gifts, Jon makes it his mission in life to protect Madison Steele. Only Jon has seen the cracks in her veneer. Only Jon has heard her weeping in her sleep. Only Jon shares with her an ancient past and a dangerous future.

Review

"...Apocalyptic..." -- Thriller Magazine

"An exciting tale that makes readers believe in the authenticity of various New Age elements." -- Book Browser

"Fun read ... fast-paced and interesting ... enough of the mystical thrown in among the technological jargon to satisfy the spiritual side as well as the intellectual." -- The Crow's Calling

"If you're a fan of Alias, La Femme Nikita, and the X-Files, you'll love this thriller!" -- Vicki Hinze, bestselling author of Lady Liberty and Shades of Gray

From the Publisher

Readers--please note that while there are many Lorelei-type heroines available in new fiction, this heroine and her story were unique and original when she was created in the mid-1990's. Much of the backstory and technology will be familiar to viewers of CNN now, but at the time of its original publication, this information was newly declassified.

5.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT SKIM!, September 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Access: An End Times Thriller (Lorelei Files) (Paperback)

This book kinda reminds me of Diana Gabaldon's. Not just time travel and stuff either. The book starts off kinda slow, and then takes your breath away, but it isn't padded and you can't skip the first 50 pages either. I've read it twice now and on the second read, I really understood why she took it slow starting out. She packs a lot into this book and you just can't skim it and catch the meanings on all four levels. highly recommended.

This review is from: Access: An End Times Thriller (Lorelei Files) (Paperback)

Author has an unusual voice. Good characterization. Really good plot with a lot of turns you don't expect. Reads like it comes right out of the headlines. Recommend it if you like romance. Highly recommend it if you like suspense and paranormal elements.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! A NEW-AGE THRILLER WITH SPINE-TINGLING SUSPENSE!, March 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Access: a New Age Thriller: Book 1 of the Lorelei Files, 3.5 inch diskette (Paperback)

I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this. I didn't expect to be glued to the page. To not want to stop reading long enough to answer the phone. Tedder's got a sharp mind. Every time I thought I knew where she was going with this, she went somewhere else--I love it when that happens--and I said, wow, but it fit, you know? It seemed inevitable and right and yet I never saw it coming. You can bet I'll be waiting for her next book!
