"Being Killed by the Siren is a wonderful way to die" Introducing a
new character to the world of contemporary fantasy The ancients
called her by many names: the Nereid, a Morgan, or an Undine. The
Greeks called her a Nymph. They are all very beautiful names for a
beautiful killer of humans. If you are in her company near water,
and should she wish for you to go farther, then you have already
gone too far... Her name is Eleanor Orlen, and she is the last of
her kind. She is the Siren Once an object of romantic myth and
legend, it took until the 20th Century for humans to find a use for
her... "the perfect killer." Eleanor leaves no fingerprints, and
can beguile her way into any place, mind or secret. When seen at
her most beautiful, few have lived to describe her. She has the
ability to vanish without trace, bear horrific injuries and is
difficult to kill unless you know how. She is also lonely, lost,
scared and frustrated, and finds herself trapped in a modern and at
times cruel world. Those who entrap her, the mysterious Brabant
Committee, do so with a simple ultimatum - work for us, or perish.
Eleanor must conduct her hated tasks against an ever more dangerous
background, with even the Vatican tracking her. Forever young and
forever lonely, all she wants is her freedom, but time is now
running out... A hunter is closing in. A man whose greatest wish is
to make a species become extinct. The Call of the Siren is the
first book in the Siren Trilogy. .".".This mixture of an espionage
thriller and a contemporary fantasy, felt like something John le
Carre might have produced if he'd been tasked with writing
something similar to Twilight.""
