Another good one from Barry Eisler. John Rain's character is fleshed out a little more. I was especially impressed that the author credits Marc "Animal" MacYoung and Peyton Quinn, authors of books on violence and "street etiquette." These two have a lot to offer. MacYoung has always said the best defense when faced with a knife is to run away, so Rain does not go "Hollywood" when he is faced with a knife. Quinn has described how predators "interview" their potential victims. Eisler has used the practical experience of these men, among numerous others, to make the incidents that occur in the novel credible. Rain is formidable but not fantastic. Eisler also credits LTC Dave Grossman, the author of "On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society," with helping us to understand why Rain, a Vietnam veteran, is who he is.
