The compelling sequel to Chameleon. The third novel featuring the spicy, redoubtable but tender Stephanie Patrick finds her still paying back her obligations to Magenta House, and living an apparently normal civilian life in London. But then a remarkable new issue envelops her, forcing her back into her former life. Scientific and weapons secrets and personnel are being sent via the people-smuggling routes from China, through Albania and the former Yugoslavia to Europe and Britain. Stephanie's personal feelings for one of the victims of this trade causes her to make a rare professional mistake, and the consequences are far-reaching, vicious and challenging, even for her skills and expertise. Mark Burnell has written another gripping, intelligent thriller, which will appeal to fans of Robert Harris and Michael Connelly. Gemini is a welcome return for a unique heroine, and a compelling sequel to Chameleon.

Praise for Chameleon: 'Chameleon is a Casablanca for the 21st century' Boris Starling 'Bigger and slicker in every way than his first novel. If you buy no other thriller this holiday season, buy this one' The Economist

This review is from: Gemini (Paperback)
I have read the first three of Mark's Stephanie Patrick series and was never let down by any of them. I still have The Third Woman to read, but i am saving that one for a rainy day. I can't wait to see what New Line also is goin to do with The Rhythm Section once it hits theaters worldwide. I hope that they stick to the book!
Stephanie is back at it again in Gemini where she is sent out again by megenta house to gather information on something called 'gemini' after alexander makes her a deal she can't refuse...her freedom. Little does she know that the deal that alexander gives her will utlimately lead her into very dangerous conflicts...i don't want to give away the ending but i love it! Stephanie is back and better then ever in this third installment in the series. She even sees Kostya unexpectedly. But hey you will have to pick this one up if you you want to know more! Stephanie isn't your typical everyday girl! She was torn from her life years ago and tried to hide only later to be found in the prevous novel by Burnell, 'Chameleon'. I would have to say that this one had me laughing, crying, and even saying "yes". Hope that if you decide to read it u too will know the world of stephanie patrick...a world which is very close to this one. cw

Great Thriller!,
By DoReMiFaSo (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gemini (Paperback)
This is the third novel in the Stephanie Patrick series. I haven't read the others yet, but I will definitely read them in the future. Basically, it's about a female assassin, who lives a double live. One obviously being an assassin, another being a normal civillian living in London. She struggles to gain her freedom from her organization by taking a mission that she normally won't take. That's when the fun begins and her two lives begin to merge together.
I have to admit that I almost stop reading in the beginning. It starts a little slow, and there are too many desciptions and background information for the characters, which slows down the pace. However, when you get into it, it starts to move on, and eventually by the end, you can't put down until you finish. Also, another thing that I want to point out is the writing style. I really like the action scenes. The descriptions are excellent and some what realistic. However, it's a bit jarring when the author change from third-person to first-person.
