5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! I loved it!, July 30, 2001

This review is from: The Warrior (Olympus Series, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Special Agent Armond Marceaux had no memory! He had been running on instinct for days until Callie Gabriel showed up. She obviously knew him though. She was pregnant with his child! Without letting her know of his memory loss, he made excuses to stay near her so he could learn more about himself. The more he learned, the less he liked himself and the more he cared for Callie.

Zeus and Hera were playing "Cupid". Long ago Hera had harmed a woman named Callisto. Hera was determined to make amends by bringing true love to one of Callisto's decedents, Callie Gabriel. Her mate was to be a decedent of Ares, Armond Marceaux.

Bad things happened to Gabriels who married. Not only to the bride, but to the whole family. Generations have proved it! So all members of the Gabriel family were independent, all Gabriels were females, and all Gabriels gave birth to only daughters! Therefore, Callie knew her unborn child was female and would not marry Armond. Besides, Armond's work (FBI) always came before her. He left twice, without saying good-bye, and disappeared for months!

At the same time, someone high in command of the Atlanta division of the FBI had betrayed Armond to one of his enemies. Armond's memory loss was due to experiments of DC-909c and psychic studies. They were watching him. As his memory returned, he and Callie became targets!

***** WOW! A lot going on in this story! I never had a dull minute. It was not choppy (as most are with so much happening). Instead, it flowed smoothly and kept me riveted! Recommended! *****

This is the first book I read in this new series by Nance and I found it to be enjoyable. The premise of the book was interesting- a new twist on Greek mythology- featuring Zeus and Hera, once king and queen of the "gods", as matchmakers. The characters were well portrayed, especially the hero Armond, the descendant of Ares, the god of war. The dialogue was done with humor, the action believable and the interaction between the gods an extra plus. Although as a whole it kept me entertained, the reason I did not give it a higher rating was that the book was not one of those "grab you by the throat and keep you hooked" kind of books. It lacked a certain intensity. But as a light, summer read it did it's job and kept me entertained. I will get the next in the series.

This review is from: The Warrior (Olympus Series, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Trying to make amends for all the trouble he caused mortals millenniums ago, Zeus with the aid of his wife Hera play matchmaker to mortal descendants of the Mount Olympus pantheon. Their first effort shockingly succeeded as they usually cause havoc when interfering, but Joy Taylor and Mark Hennessy seem like a match made in heaven, that is Greek heaven.

Zeus chooses Callie Gabriel, a distant offshoot of Callisto as target number two. However, before the Gods can intercede, Callie becomes involved with FBI Agent Armand Marceux, who is suffering from drug-induced amnesia caused by his enemies. Armand happens to come from Ares' seed, which leads to Hera worrying that with the God War in his gene pool, this mortal cannot understand love. Zeus and Hera know they have a Herculean task ahead of them.

THE WARRIOR, the second "Sons of Olympus" tale, is an entertaining romance that brings the Ancient Greek mythos of interfering in mortal lives to the information age. The story line is amusing, filled with suspense, and provides an intriguing look at mythology. Readers will find this tale of immortal redemption quite unique and refreshing, and want to seek out the previous novel (THE TRICKSTER). The audience will anxiously await Kathleen Nance's next story, THE SOUL SEEKER.
