Just a fun, take a break, dependable read. I've read all of Eisler's previous books, and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. His writing, which is all steeped in the world of espionage, has an air of authenticity given Eisler's stint in C.I.A. This is the second book in Eisler's second series, the Treven series. The first book focused on both brothers, Alex, an attorney, and Ben, an elite soldier/assassin, while this one is exclusively about Ben. For long time Eisler fans, which I am, we also see the hints of the return of John Rain, who starred in the first six of Eisler's novels. When I read that, I couldn't help but smile, because as good as Eisler's 'Treven' books have been, they still seem to pale in comparison to the 'Rain' books.
I will always recommend this author to anyone seeking a 'fun' read, and this book does not make me question that. But, here's hoping John Rain does make his triumphant return in the next novel.
