John Rain kills people. For a living. His specialty: making it seem like death by natural causes. But he won't kill just anyone. The target must be a principal player. And never a woman. Half American, half Japanese-but out of place in both worlds-Rain is filled with opportunities. John Rain may not be a good man, but he's good at what he does...
Until he falls for the beautiful daughter of his last kill.
BeckyJG: John Rain is a hero who is similar in many ways to Jack Reacher. A man of action and of few words, deep, lonely (even if he doesn't realize it). Rain is perhaps more morally ambiguous than Reacher; both kill without hesitation and little remorse, but Rain is, after all, an assassin, and gets paid to do so.… (mehr)
crazybatcow: Lee Child's series starring Reacher starts with Killing Floor. If you like Rain's no-nonsense doing of whatever job it is that needs to be done, you'll probably like Child's series too.
Japanese American private assassin, John Rain. Good plot. Lots of Japanese place locations slowing me down, but overall a good read. This is an early novel by Eisler, and reissued with the title he originally wanted but the publisher wouldn't support. ( )
Pretty good writing, interesting protagonist who COULD have gotten where he did as a result of his Viet-Nam War experience, but finally not really believable. ( )
First half slow going, seemingly not so well-written. Also, the protagonist is an assassin; why would I care about him and his life? Second half of the book picks up a lot of speed and I'm starting to find the guy pretty interesting. As the series progresses I've learned more about him and care more about his life. Pretty good.

This novel is for three people who are not here to read it.
For my father, Edgar, who gave me strength. For my mother, Barbara, who gave me insight. For my brother, Ian, who helped me climb the mountain, whose memory keeps me climbing still.
