This book takes about 100 pages or so to get into. Prior to that you want to throw it at a wall. Basically the author took the approach of doing Tom Clancy with ninja.

Continuing Nicholas' saga, while still a great book this start to blur and become less cohesive.

This is not a great work of genious. Just lots of ass kickery and ass bangery. Like a good action flick. Very little hmmm and lots of woohoo. Great on a beach vacation.

Action movie on paper, with enough Asian mysteriousness to keep you interested. What else would you expect from this author?
