    <![CDATA[When John Rain, the Japanese/American &quot;contract killer with a conscience&quot; (Entertainment Weekly), learns that his former lover, Midori, has been raising their child in New York, he senses a chance for reconciliation, perhaps even for redemption.    But Midori is being watched by Rains enemies, and his sudden appearance puts mother and child in terrible danger. To save them, Rain is forced to use the same deadly talents he had been hoping to leave behind. With the help of Tatsu, his friendly nemesis in the Japanese FBI, and Dox, the ex-marine sniper whose good ol boy persona masks a killer as deadly as Rain himself, Rain races against time to bring his enemies into the open and eliminate them forever. But to finish the job, hell need one more ally: Israeli intelligence agent Delilah, a woman who represents an altogether different kind of threat...    Filled with &quot;action-packed scenes worthy of a Jerry Bruckheimer film&quot; (Sun-Sentinel), The Last Assassin is Barry Eislers most ambitious and most satisfying book yet.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Barry Eisler's books do improve as you progress through the series.  Its always a nice change-up to read his books after reading my usual finance and real estate investment books.

    <![CDATA[Barry Eisler has been compared to Forsyth, Ludlum, le Carré, Ian Fleming, and Graham Greene. But his latest thriller brings Eisler into a league of his own. When Japanese/American contract killer John Rain learns that his former lover, Midori, has been raising their child in New York, he senses a chance for reconciliation, perhaps even for redemption. But Midori is being watched by Rain's enemies, and his sudden appearance puts mother and child in terrible danger. To save them, Rain is forced to use the same deadly talents he had been hoping to leave behind. With the help of Tatsu, his friendly nemesis in the Japanese FBI, and Dox, the ex-marine sniper whose good ol' boy persona masks a killer as deadly as Rain himself, Rain races against time to bring his enemies into the open and eliminate them forever. But to finish the job, he'll need one more ally: Israeli intelligence agent Delilah, a woman who represents an altogether different kind of threat . . .]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This John rain book seems to be a turning point for Eisler as a writer. I liked his style before, but he has leapt forward in his skill and technique. The other books were good...but this one was awesome. A MUCH better story, more interesting twists, great character development.<br/><br/>Clearly t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20079595">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was able to knock this one out in one day (thanks to a sick child!)  This book definately had more depth than the previous Rain novels. I enjoy reading about Rain's martial arts background and his friendship with Dox.  Looking forward to the next book :)]]></body>
