Book Reviews of Requiem For An Assassin
Book Review: series keeps getting better
Summary: 4 Stars
"Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there's a woman, or if I'm gettin' paid - mostly only when I'm gettin' paid."
I think this was the last Eisler book that I had yet to read. It was a quick and enjoyable read. I might have liked it more because of the transformation of our loner into someone with friends. As I like to think I could count on my friends like Rain.
I liked all the real gear and have decided I might need a Fred Perrin Le Griffe.
I also enjoyed that he used a quote from a sci-fi movie ~Serenity.
Book Review: John Rain is the Man
Summary: 5 Stars
Requiem for an Assassin is the sixth book in the John Rain chronicles but the first of the series that I've read. John Rain's friend is kidnapped and tortured to force John into returning to his life of an assassin. Requiem was a treat. Barry Eisler constructed a wonderful story. There's plenty of action and character development. I recommend you read this book. I'm looking forward to reading the previous five books in the series.

Book Review: Nice continuation of the Rain saga
Summary: 5 Stars
This series has developed well and it is fun to have John Rain back in action. The author has made this adventure more of a team effort, John isn't entirely by himself, but he still has the paranoia and confident combat skills we've come to know and love.
The character is getting older all the time, and running out of new continents to run off to. But here's hoping Eisler brings him back for several more repeat engagements.
Book Review: An Excellent Addition to the Series
Summary: 5 Stars
The gritty realism, the much-needed paranoia, the driving narrative, and all the other hallmarks of this series are here. John Rain continues to be one of the most interesting heroes around. As always, Eisler laces his prose with geographic and gastronomic details. Most of the fans of the series like the action scenes, which are always good. But Rain's moral struggles are also a fascinating aspect of the books.Book Review: Great new book in Rain series
Summary: 5 Stars
This book builds on the work started several books ago. His characters, John Rain, Delilah and Dox are all getting quite well rounded and the relationships becoming more solid. I won't try to describe the plot, don't want to give anything away, but whether it's your first time reading about these characters, or you are already familiar with them, this is an excellent read.
