After nearly dying while taking out a target in Hong Kong, Rain has a new employer, the Mossad, which wants him to fix a "problem" in Manila. He also has a new partner, Dox, whose good-ol'-boy persona masks a sniper as deadly as Rain himself. And he has a new hope: that by using his talents in the service of something good, he might atone for all the lives he has taken. But when Rain's conscience causes him to botch the Manila hit, he finds out the next problem the Mossad wants fixed is himself. Is Delilah, his Mossad lover, coming to help him? Or was she sent to finish him off?

Good fairly simple story. What makes this book stand out is character growth. All the usual spy / assassin stuff you expect from a John Rain novel is here, but also a deepening of the characters. Not only Rain, but also Dox and Delilah.

Makes for an interesting continuation of the series. Will continue to follow it.

As before stellar narration from the author. Hands down the best author narration I've come across, save from some memoir readings.

Character growth.

Really getting under the skin of John Rain now.
Enjoying the partnership with Dox and the end twist was good.
Will be looking forward to the next one.
