About this listen

What makes a legendary assassin? For John Rain, it was the lessons of love, war, and betrayal he learned in Tokyo in 1972.

Fresh from the killing fields of Southeast Asia, Rain works as a bagman under the watchful eye of his CIA handler, delivering cash to corrupt elements of the Japanese government. But when a delivery goes violently wrong, Rain finds himself in the crosshairs of Japan’s most powerful yakuza clan. To survive, Rain strikes a desperate deal with his handler: take out a high-profile target in the Japanese government in exchange for the intel he needs to eliminate his would-be executioners.

As Rain plays cat and mouse with the yakuza and struggles to learn his new role as contract killer, he also becomes entangled with Sayaka, a tough, beautiful ethnic Korean woman confined to a wheelchair. But the demands of his dark work are at odds with the longings of his heart - and with Sayaka’s life in the balance, Rain will have to make a terrible choice.

I was reluctant to embark on this book/Audio book - partly because I am not usually too keen on prequels - and partly because I have now read/ listened to all of Barry Eisler's books so I have to wait until he writes another one! This as one of his best and as far as I am concerned I cannot offer greater praise. Barry Eisler is one of my favourite authors, but when reading his own books he is peerless in this genre.
In this book John Rain is just starting out on his path as a covert assassin, making mistakes and learning from them the hard way. He is also realising the high price he has to pay to live this life; even as he begins to notice more and more of the small but crucial details which will hone his tradecraft, he regrets the path forced upon him, and realises that there are lines he is not willing to cross. Top notch.

Great story with brilliant narration!
