Barry Eisler's THE LAST ASSASSIN27 Just when I thought the action in a John Rain thriller couldn’t get any better… it does! Times a thousand.

As if the stakes for Rain weren’t always high, Eisler’s gone and propelled them to the stratosphere with THE LAST ASSASSIN. Rain’s lost love Midori and their newborn son are threatened by Rain’s old nemesis, Yamaoto, the yakuza boss turned politician with a major axe to grind with Rain.

Now, Rain must protect his family by removing the threat, but doing just that introduces a brand new one: ending all contact with Midori and his baby boy… maybe forever.

The third act of this book was an absolute freaking roller coaster, but with bullets and knives. I simply could not put this book down.

(As a side note, if you want a great place to discuss all things John Rain and Barry Eisler, head over to Barry’s Place. The man behind Rain posts often, so drop by to say “hello.” Pull up a chair… there’s plenty of room!)
