So. I just got done reading Conspiracy Game by Christine Feehan. This is one of those rare books that I don't have strong opinions on by her.
A thought though: What the hell kind of obsession does Christine Feehan have with everyone ending up pregnant in her books? I KNOW she writes romance, but it just bugs me that every. Single. Person. In her books has to want babies. It's ridiculous. And no one every really talks about it, just because the guy (or whoever) want a child, their partner is 1000% okay with it. I suspect even Flame-who's sterile because of cancer treatments-will end up pregnant. Cause an ending can't be happy if the woman has no spawn on the way.
It's not helped that one of the primary antagonists, Dr. Whitney, is responsible for most of the character's troubles in the Ghost Walker books. The women-when they were babies, toddlers, etc he bought them from orphanages in 3rd world countries and experimented on them, making their psychic talents stronger. And tampering with their genes. (Hence Flame's cancer... he did to work out a better treatment for cancer... but also because he didn't like her, and he ensured the cancer would return. So if she wanted to live she'd have to crawl back to him.) He also enhanced their physical capabilities. He's repeated that over the years, after 'adopting out' the girls; his latest attempt has been using soldiers from various branches of the US Armed Forces.
(He also faked his death so he could get that batch of Ghost Walkers free; they ended up in his mansion with the one girl he kept-Lily. Since he has back doors into the computer systems at said mansion, he can keep track of them.)
AND instituted a breeding program, using pheromones;  each Ghost Walker has an opposite number s/he is attracted to, thanks to those pheromones. He wants the babies in one of his labs so he can train and manipulate those babies-turn them into supersoldiers.
So what's the Ghost Walkers' solutions? Have tons of babies when you find your mate! Never mind the fact the woman can't fight well in later stages of pregnancy, or that she'll have a baby to protect. Or that she'll be weakened after birth; babies make everything better! With a rich megalomaniac (who has allies in all sorts of governments and has tons of resources) after those children, what could possibly go wrong?

'Course, maybe I'm the one in the wrong, trying to apply logic or pointing out gaps in books. Especially something like paranormal romance. *thinks* Naaaaw. It's my journal, I can post whatever bugs me.

Cross posted at my livejournal. (By the way? I just posted the link so no one would stumble upon this later and be all 'PLAGIARIST!' Otherwise I'd really keep the 2 of these separate and will continue to treat them as such.)
