"This book was good, but I didn't like it quite as much as the previous volumes in the series. It had great action, as always and setup the next book well. I listened to the audio book, which was very well done. " — Mark (4 out of 5 stars)

“Compelling.”
“Taut and compelling…The plot has enough twists and turns to satisfy, and Eisler is an adept hand at pacing and suspense…Various exotic Asian locales add to the appeal.”
“Eisler unspools a plot full of warring secret government connections, cool spy paraphernalia, and vivid martial arts sequences.”
“The Rain series has been compared to Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels, but there’s one important difference: Fleming never took Bond seriously, and Eisler takes Rain very seriously indeed…Nicely detailed action here.”
“Plenty of good action…A thriller as straight as an arrow, even when mildly deflected by the winds of conscience. The ending leaves much unanswered, so, thankfully, expect more Rain.”
“High-octane action.”
“Michael McConnohie is adept at pacing and suspense, and Eisler’s plot has enough twists to maintain interest. The setting of exotic Manila adds to the drama.”
" Took a while to get into, but had some clever lines and interesting/odd characters. Story was fine - not too complex, but had some twist and suspense. Narrator was great. "
" Another great John Rain title. The more I read Eisler, the more I like him. "
" The best Rain novel yet. I hope they keep coming. "
" John Rain in Thailand with his girlfriend Delilah trying to finish a "job" that he botched in the Philippines. Lots of action as usual. "
" Good thriller. Excellent character development. Leisure reading. "
" Full of action - what I like! "
" I'm crazy about assassins so I love this protagonist. A smart and sexy Japanese killer for hire. Will read all of this series, preferably in order, if my library will cooperate. "
