Codename: Chandler Trilogy - Three Complete Novels
Librarian’s note: This is a previously-published edition of
Kindle ASIN: B00CKVE6U2.
This is a special edition of the first three novels in the Codename: Chandler series.
Flee:
Chandler isn’t a person; it’s the codename for a woman who was shaped from a raw military recruit into a living weapon. She’s an assassin without remorse or fear, doing the bidding of an agency so secret that only three people know of its existence. But when her cover gets blown, she becomes the target of a wide-reaching conspiracy led by a mysterious figure whose connection to Chandler goes far beyond what she could have imagined. Now she faces an explosive twenty-four hours—a single day in which everyone she encounters seems hell-bent on ending her life. With any past ally suddenly a possible traitor and every present emotion a weakness for her enemies to exploit, Chandler must tap into her deepest reservoirs of strength and skill in order to survive. But her survival is just the beginning as she confronts a murderous lunatic with a personal agenda, a squad of assassins just as skilled as she is, and a diabolical plot to unleash nuclear holocaust across the globe.
Spree:
Super spy and assassin Chandler has just barely averted nuclear annihilation when the very organization she works for has her brought in on treason charges, trussed up for interrogation. After a run-in with Chicago Homicide cop Jack Daniels, Chandler discovers one of her sisters, Fleming, has been transferred to a black ops site where the modus operandi is torture and death. Chandler launches a breakneck mission to infiltrate an impossibly secure prison—putting her on a collision course with a squad of violent psychopaths trained to negate her precise skill set. As old enemies reemerge and new ones appear around every corner, Chandler will rely on the help of unexpected allies, including an ex-mob enforcer named Tequila and a firefighter named Lund. But even they may not be enough to stop what lurks within the unlisted military base: a rogue government agency plotting to destabilize the entire nation—and conquer the world.
Three:
Time is running out for Chandler, the elite assassin whose mission to rescue her sister from a notorious black ops prison landed her at the top of the nation’s Most Wanted list. Burned by her handlers and forced to work with her mortal enemy in a race to preserve the very government that wants her dead, the living weapon has become a ticking time bomb. In saving her sister, Chandler unleashed a power-mad American president dead set on controlling the world—no matter how many millions of innocent people he must kill to do it. To stop him, Chandler will go deeper than she’s ever gone before, pushing her body and mind to their absolute limits. All the while she is hunted by the one man who knows her every secret, her every hiding place—and her every weakness. Infiltrating the White House, crashing a bullfight in Mexico City, hijacking a blimp in Toronto…these are just the beginning of the end, as the Codename: Chandler trilogy races towards its stunning conclusion.

FLEE #1
This chick, Chandler, was really something. What a killer she was. But worse was those psychos Hammet and Victor.
And can you imagine falling out of a broken window of a 95-floor high building, only to be caught by your rucksack catching on a cable and swinging you toward the scaffold. I would have had a heart attack the minute I fell.
This was on killing book.
SPREE #2
Wow! There’s even more killing in this book. And more torturing. That Malcolm was sick and brutal. What he did to Fleming was so horrible. And she gave that sick bastard just what he deserved.
THREE #3
Okay, this is the end of the trilogy and even though Chandler and Fleming and Hammett should have been dead a long time ago they were fantastic heroes. Well, maybe not Hammett so much but she did have some very funny lines BUT she was insane. She’d slept with 160 men AND women and killed 211 people, including children. Once she said the last it was really hard to like her even a little bit.
Overall, my favorite secondary character was McGlade! I laughed so much because of the weirdo. Hammett was funny too but not as funny as McGlade.
The one part I didn’t care for was in the last of the book entitled Three with Chandler and Heath. I mean, they were doing all they could about stopping Ebola from being spread all over Mexico but not so hard that they could stop having sex again and again, or thinking about sex, or talking about sex. I thought that was just stupid. It was a pretty good three part to the series, but it became too sexual. like sex in my romances but not in my assassin storylines.
So, turned out to be lots of sex and the F-bomb was used 85 times.
As to the narration: Angela Dawe was awesome. Different voices for everyone and the men sounding like men.

This was such a great trilogy, I enjoyed every one of these stories! I highly recommend this series.
I love all the action, suspense, sticky situations and drama. There was a lot going on all the time, Never a dull moment. I was quite surprised how much I enjoyed these stories.
There is so much great dialogue going on through out. Not just full of filler moments or inner thought nonsense. It was great! If you like bad ass smart women you will like enjoy this series.
The description of the books speaks for itself, So I don't need to put that here, Just know this was fantastic entertainment and a fun amazing listen.
As for the narration, it was hard at first to get used to the narrator but she did grow on me and I am glad for that and it made it even better.
I left individual reviews for the first two books, then this book since it was a box set of 3 stories. I got this box set as free read free listen and 1.99 audible. Absolutely a lucky find.

Crazy, unpredictable, engrossing novels
Hard to put the novel down as the reader is never sure what to expect. The novels were at times a bit unrealistic, but never dull. While I didn’t care for the most recent novel by the author, these novels were action filled. Recommend

This was an entertaining thriller with a colorful cast of characters. I will likely read more from this author in the future. The edition I have doesn't appear to exist on audible any longer, but I am glad I picked it up before it disappeared.

Painful excruciating detail that distracted from the storyline. Managed to finish all 3 books because I'm not a quitter!

Loved this series. Just when you think it is slowing down, it screams back into chaos and action.

Outstanding!
I love all of the Konrarh books. These three caught me by surprise. What a treat. Wall to wall action and as improbable as it is just could not put it down.

This is such a great, easy and creative series. i was hooked after the first page.
The characters were easy to fall in love with and follow, along with the story. the author made the mental visions so easy and vivid of the surroundings and the characters actions felt so real.
i would highly recommend this author and this series.

A series of books about septuplet girls trained to be assassins by the US Gov't. They don't know about each other and work alone. One of them finds out about the others and takes them rogue and attempts to fire a nuclear missile at London. The remaining 2 who weren't co-opted by the rogue attempt to save London by fighting their sisters. After that, it's a bit more far-fetched, but good spy novel fare.

If you can suspend belief, you'll enjoy this wild ride!
This trilogy is nothing short of a heart-pounding thriller! The character development is well done and the plot keeps you turning the pages as fast as possible. I look forward to a sequel that wraps everything up.

The first two books were okay, but the third really took a lot out of me. I admit I skipped pages!
Throughout the series, I didn't understand why the authors switched between first-person and third-person narrative. Why not make the entire book first-person or third-person, not both...?
