Finished Th 4/10/14
This is the second time on this one. Worth the re-read. Picked it up because I heard Ann raving about it at the last meeting of Contemporary Books. I think she might have heard about it from me.
Not that well written, but a compelling story. Fast paced and full of blood and explosions.
Elroy Coffin is a mercenary for hire. He hasn't killed, but he is a wizard with martial arts, weaponry of all kinds and nothing he doesn't know about breaking computer codes.
David Hartman is his arch nemesis and he did two years on a much longer sentence when he is contacted by Jayne Jenison. She wants Elroy to help with his computer skills on a secret black ops job, and she can help him get his wife, Toni, back from Hartman.
Jenison and her people are running a Doomsday operation. Hundreds of people, mostly women, are being kept in underground bunkers in suspended animation. They will be resurrected and the New Human Race will begin after the neutron bombs fall.
The reveal is that Toni is actually Jayne Jenison's daughter and has playing Elroy since she met him when they were both teenagers.
