Alex Archer - Rogue Angel: The Chosen

An interesting story all told, and very action packed. I started by reading the back cover then went on to read the inside front page and I was hooked. This is the fourth in a series of six books put out by Alex Archer.

Mr. Archer's lead character is named Annja Creed, orphan and believed to be the reincarnation of Joan of Arc. It doesn't explain in this story how that comes to be, the reader would have to read Destiny to get that story. Destiny is the first of the series and from all accounts that this author had read about the entire series, the whole series is wonderful.

Annja Creed, raised in a Catholic orphanage and has a vast dislike for the religion, comes face to face with the Holy Child, a Jesuit and some very unsavory characters in this adventure. Which from previously noted reading, isn't unusual for her ever since she started in her hero gig with the sword. Demons and other creatures must beware of this well trained female or they'll find themselves on the wrong end of the sword. If I had to rate this book, and over all series, I'd give it a five stars...meaning EXCELLENT.
