"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. "

Quotes
-
“Compelling.”
— San Francisco Chronicle -
“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.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Eisler unspools a plot full of warring secret government connections, cool spy paraphernalia, and vivid martial arts sequences.”
— Entertainment Weekly -
“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.”
— Booklist -
“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.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“High-octane action.”
— South Florida Sun-Sentinel -
“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.”
