About this listen
What makes a legendary assassin? For John Rain, it was the lessons of love, war, and betrayal he learned in Tokyo in 1972.
Fresh from the killing fields of Southeast Asia, Rain works as a bagman under the watchful eye of his CIA handler, delivering cash to corrupt elements of the Japanese government. But when a delivery goes violently wrong, Rain finds himself in the crosshairs of Japan’s most powerful yakuza clan. To survive, Rain strikes a desperate deal with his handler: take out a high-profile target in the Japanese government in exchange for the intel he needs to eliminate his would-be executioners.
As Rain plays cat and mouse with the yakuza and struggles to learn his new role as contract killer, he also becomes entangled with Sayaka, a tough, beautiful ethnic Korean woman confined to a wheelchair. But the demands of his dark work are at odds with the longings of his heart - and with Sayaka’s life in the balance, Rain will have to make a terrible choice.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, bit of origin story
Thoroughly enjoyable Audiobook. It's a bit of a deviation from typical John Rain books, to be a bit of a origin story, for the Rain character, it was a welcome change. The author reads well, and I loved the descriptiors of Tokyo locations, for me it added a depth, as my own local knowledge of these places fleshed out a more detailed visual. Now I have a taste, I want more on Rains earlier life.

Great origin story.
loved this book, it's a fantastic origin story, with some really funny bits mixed in with a generally dark narrative. A great book to listen to, enjoy.

Assassin memories
Track the development of John Rain as he develops his CIA field skills while getting tangled in gang exploits. Not all is as it seems or presented by his handler. Larger tactics are at play and Rain must wise up quickly to play the players and survive. Masterful narration and a pleasure to listen to. Highly recommended.
