CODENAME: CHANDLER
After having her cover blown and risking everything to stop a nuclear Armageddon, covert operative Chandler figured she might have been shown some appreciation for the sacrifices she made. Instead, the very organization that trained her locks up Chandler's sister, Fleming, for treason, intent on extracting every last scrap of information from her broken body and mind.
SPREE
Despite impossible odds, Chandler launches a desperate rescue mission, recruiting old allies (Jack Daniels and Harry McGlade, from Konrath's novel Whiskey Sour), and new ones (Val Ryker and David Lund from Peterson's Pushed Too Far, and Tequila Abernathy from Konrath's Shot of Tequila) to break into a black site--an ultrasecret military prison on US soil where no one gets out alive. But standing in her way is a squad of deadly psychopaths and a rogue government agency determined to destabilize the nation--and conquer the world.
Buckle up. It's going to be one hell of a ride...

From the Inside Flap
Ann and Joe Interview Each Other
Joe: Flee was an average length book. Spree and Three are epics. But the only way to shorten them would be to cut action, and I love the action. I think the Chandler series is loads of fun because it is so over-the-top. We wanted to do a contemporary female James Bond, and that meant sex, gadgets, and above all, big action scenes. But the books just kept going and going. Did we plan on Spree being over 100,000 words?
Ann: I think we originally planned it to be about 60,000, although once we got writing, I knew it would be 80,000. Wrong on both counts. It went to 110,000. And Three went to 150,000.
Joe: Hopefully they all still qualify as quick reads. And seamless ones. We both worked hard to make sure the writing was consistent, so readers couldn't tell which scenes you wrote and which scenes I wrote. What was your favorite scene to write in Spree?
Ann: Tequila riding the horse. It was fun to take a guy who is so athletic and throw him into a situation where he's over his head, at least at first.
Joe: I know you read my novel Shot of Tequila, which introduced him, but was it weird to write for a character you didn't create? I did a Lund section or two (one of your heroes from Pushed Too Far), but not to the degree you did Tequila. And you did a perfect job with him. One I never could have done, because I've never been on a horse. But you did all that professional riding...
Ann: I loved Tequila when I read him, but I was a little nervous about writing from his point of view. As it turned out, it was a lot of fun. I started riding when I was eleven years old, showed my own horse, and worked for a quarter horse trainer in my early twenties. I had a lot to learn about men's gymnastics, though. What was your favorite scene to write, Joe?
Joe: The whole idea behind Flee was to have a female operative in way over her head. One of the set pieces I was excited about was blowing her out of the ninety-fifth floor of the Hancock Building in Chicago, and having her cling to the side of the building. In Spree, I wanted to have a big scene like that, which became the hot air balloons and the high-tension wire.
That scene was challenging to write. I did hours and hours of research about electricity, and I'm sure I still got stuff wrong. But I like how it turned out, and really dig the idea of two women walking a high-tension tightrope, trying to kill each other.�In Three, my faves were the�Niagara�Falls, the blimp fight, and Fleming at the warehouse.
Ann: Our settings also gave us a lot of ideas. I loved doing all the Mexican scenes in Three. The bullfighting. The naked gunfight. The walk through the desert.
Joe:�All fun scenes. For Spree, we visited the Badger Ammo plant in Baraboo, and a cool guy named Verlyn Mueller gave us a tour. We saw the reservoir Chandler got stuck in (which is filled with a rare species of salamander) and the cannon area and the graveyard. We were so captivated by all of it, half of Spree's action happens at Badger.
Ann: Oh, and the industrial grinder!�
Joe: How could we not use that? It's huge and grinds up cement and metal. That was just begging to have characters fight on it.
Ann: A lot of it also takes place in the neighboring Devil's Lake State Park, a place I've visited since I was a kid.
Joe: You're from Wisconsin. I go there every year on vacation, and have been since 1973. It was nice to set a novel there. People don't normally use "Wisconsin" and "thriller" in the same sentence.
Ann: Although you set Afraid in Wisconsin.�
Joe: I did. But that was a horror novel. That's one of the reasons I included Santiago as a bad guy in Spree--he's one of the villains in Afraid.
Ann: I set Pushed Too Far there, too. And a lot of my romantic suspense novels take place in Wisconsin.
Joe: So I guess we've overused America's Dairyland. Three, the third book in the series, takes place in Washington DC, Toronto, Mexico City, Chicago, and Milan.
Ann:�The prequel, Exposed, takes place in NYC.
Joe: It was fun using characters from our other books. I also gotta say thanks to our friend Blake Crouch for letting us use�Javier and Isaiah. Those are his villains from his books Snowbound and Abandon, and he was cool enough to let us borrow them so we didn't have to make up new characters on our own. So thanks, Blake.
Ann: Are we paying Blake anything?
Joe: Hell no.
Onto another topic, you did the sex scenes in Flee�and in Spree, and I just added some naughty bits to them. For Three, we each did a sex scene.�
Ann: When people try to guess which part you wrote and which I wrote, they're usually wrong.
Joe: Our styles blend pretty well. So, is Three going to be it for the Codename: Chandler series? Or will there be more books with these characters?
Ann: We've written three Codename: Chandler novellas; Exposed, Naughty, and Hit, which all take place before Flee. Then we'll do the fourth one, Free, coming out in 2014.�
Joe: I take full credit for that brilliant title. How many people search each day for a Free ebook?
Ann:�That's thinking outside the box.
Joe: You're doing another Val/Lund book, right?
Ann: I'm writing at least two follow ups to Pushed Too Far. Cut Too Deep and Dead Too Soon, in addition to other things. And you have about a billion books planned, don't you?
Joe: I'm doing another Kilborn horror novel called Haunted House, and a sequel to Origin called Second Coming, and anther Jack Daniels book with Blake Crouch, Last Call, among other projects. So the only way we can squeeze in another Chandler is if she becomes a huge hit and fans want more.
Feel free to contact Ann at ann@annvosspeterson.com and demand another Chandler story.�
Ann: Great idea. You can also contact Joe at--
Joe: Sorry. We're out of time.

Another fast-paced exciting read by these two authors.
By Nikki W.
It will never be said that Konrath's novels are boring. I'll tell you that. From the second you start reading this book it's knock down, drag out action. Spree starts exactly where Flee left off. I loved Flee. Spree was just as good.
I don't want to go into too much detail in case some haven't yet read any of the Chandler series. Basically, Chandler is a super secret spy working for a government agency that almost no one knows exists. She needs to save one of her 3 remaining sisters from a black site. Complications arise as they always do for her and the action is full tilt ahead.
Love Chandler, love that she's like a superhero. She has to be because the kind of butt whooping she takes in most scenes she has to be. No normal person could go through all of what she does. Still, it's awesome and fast paced and exciting to read through.
I think my one complaint is all the weapons talk. There were so many different guns and knifes I had no idea what was going on. I'd have had to stop every few pages to look up what they were talking about. So... for me that was a little bit of a downside. AR-7, Ghost Hawk knives... it was all over my head. I got the 9MM reference though.
I love the characters. I love the new characters that were introduced. I had wanted to read Ann Voss Peterson's Pushed Too Far before reading this one but the time constraints were a lit tricky to work out. I'll definitely be going back to read that though. I believe a lot of characters in this were also in that novel.
I'm very excited for Three, the next (and maybe even the last) novel in the Chandler series.

I Just couldn't...
By OutlawPoet
Normally, I love books like this. Strong female characters. Guns and things that go boom. Thrill-a-minute popcorn reads that run at breakneck speed.
Oddly, I just couldn't get into this. I liked Chandler and Fleming, but loved Hammett. I liked Tequila. I liked the fact that the author threw in an old favorite in Jack Daniels. But for some reason, the plot left me cold.
Part of the problem may be that this is one in a series - a series I haven't read before. That doesn't usually stop me from enjoying a book. Normally, I can start in the middle of a series and then I get excited and go back and read all the others in the series. This one didn't really work as a standalone. It took about 75 pages to catch my attention. Up until then, I sort of felt like everyone else was already invested in characters I knew nothing about. Almost no time is spent letting us know who these women are and why we should care about them.
Aside from the lack of back story for those of us new to the series, I would say that the book is well written, but I found there was only one character (Hammett) that I was remotely interested in and it really wasn't enough to sustain me.
Love the authors, but this one left me kind of cold.

Massacre
By Jacqueline
It's getting harder and harder to like Chandler. The woman is an elite killing machine, trained by some of the most hardened men the US government has on offer. She is being hunted by her own equally aggressive twin sister, among other psycho killers, whilst trying to save her other twin sister, who is also a trained operative but is on the good side, and she still manages to get laid. Honestly, who has the time with all that going on?
Also, Chandler's bizarre mind wanderings are getting old. Concentrate!
