What's The Hypnotic Assassin about?
For thousands of years Hypnotic Assassins have existed to help free the people. 4500 years ago they were known as 'Assassins of the Light', 2000 years ago this changed to 'Followers of the Light'. They have always stood for freedom & peace. In 1938 they were almost all wiped out when an assassin became hungry for power & domination. Since then few Hypnotic Assassins remain. Sam Carter is one such assassin.
Sam lives a quiet life in a small boxy flat, being a Hypnotic Assassin this is all he needs. Every day when Sam isn't on a mission he sits at the same seat in the Marlborough Cafe for 90 minutes, reading minds and drinking tea. One day he picks up a mission to assassinate Michael Rawlins, CEO of SiLo, a Nuclear Fusion research company who is planning on selling a nuclear weapon and advanced nuclear technology to someone in Europe. This starts out to be a straight forward and simple mission. But Sam's life end's up on the line, with Sam needing to use all his hypnotic skills just to survive.

what is so scary is that everything in this book either has or can be achieved! The human mind really is amazing and we only understand a fraction or the power available to us. A very thought provoking read! Excellent.

I rarely give a book 1 star(meaning it couldn't have been worst), but this author achieved it!
There are so many things wrong in this book. First, I think the author has passed to much time playing Assasin's Creed, watching The Matrix and reading The DaVinci's Code, because this story is like a blend of this works, but in a mix that doesn't works AT ALL!
The author says that he has 20 years of experience in hypnotherapy, but his vision of hypnosis is like an over-the-top version of the already exagerated descriptions found on those NLP books that flourish around 2005. With an endless way of using hypnosis and self-hypnosis, the main character becomes a Gary Stu( a male Mary Sue), becoming even bullet proof!!! Yeah, the author went as far as that with the uses of hypnosis in his imagination.
The plot has a James Bond-esque villain been easy beaten by a Scooby-Doo-esque investigator, with Jedi-esque powers.
There were some random oddness, like they were in London but say they were going to make a travel to Europe, the constant use of metres instead of feets, the existence of assassins in the ancient Egypt(while the word assassin exist for only around a 1000 years and has arabic origins)...I could go on and on, but you got the idea.
I found out that this was the only book this author has ever released, with means market response made this guy realise that he should go back to play his videogame and watch his Sci-Fi, but not write again.
