Hard Rain

Rating:
Summary: Eisler is a fantastic writer...
Review: This novel is not quite as strong as Rain Fall was, but the story is a good one. The stakes are high, but the payoff is a bit smaller. We will be fighting Yamaoto for another day. Still, Rain is a fantastic character and Eisler an oustanding writer. He is much better writer than many of fellow authors in this genre. This story lacks a bit of the depth and context of the first, but remains fascinating in descriptions and Japanese politics. Will Rain ever find peace? Must read the next to find out!

Summary: Enter the world of a professional hit-man
Review: You will be hard pressed to find a better book about spies and assassins.

Read Rain Fall first, as this book is a continuation of that story. Hard Rain is every bit as good as Rain Fall--maybe even better.

Eisler keeps you on the edge of your seat, but not by using cheap plot devices such as ending every chapter with a cliffhanger or a surprise.

The dialogue is believable. There are really no uninteresting characters in the entire book.

There are some plot twists, but not so many that you feel pummeled by them.
