Барри Эйслер - циклы книг | Бумажные издания

Джон Рейн.
Наемный убийца и величайший "мастер смерти", а в Японии, где он живет, подобное искусство ценится очень высоко. Но теперь Рейн устал и твердо решил покончить с прошлым.
Однако профессионалу его уровня непросто "выйти в отставку".
Джона разыскивают и представители американских спецслужб, и начальник японской тайной полиции, и таинственный "крестный отец" якудза.
Зачем?
Чтобы дать очередное задание?
Или - чтобы избавиться от самого Рейна, которому слишком многое известно?
Он должен выяснить это - если, конечно, хочет остаться в живых...

Alex Treven has sacrificed everything to make partner in his high-tech law firm. But then the inventor of a technology Alex is banking on is murdered - and Alex narrowly escapes an attack in his house. Running out of time, he calls his estranged brother, Ben, an elite undercover soldier in the United States' war on terror. When Ben receives Alex's frantic call he hurries to San Francisco to help him. Only then does Alex reveal that there's another player who knows of the technology: Sarah Hosseini, a young Iranian American lawyer whom Alex has long secretly desired and whom Ben immediately distrusts. As these three struggle to identify the forces attempting to silence them, Ben and Alex must examine the events that drove them apart - even as Sarah's presence deepens the fault line between them.

Previously published as Rain Storm and Choke Point

John Rain has disappeared to Brazil to escape the killing business and the enemies encircling him in Japan. But the CIA isn't willing to lose its premier "natural causes" contract killer, and they force Rain to take on a high-risk assignment: eliminate a ruthless arms dealer operating in Southeast Asia.

The upside? Financial, of course, along with the ongoing chimera of moral redemption. But first, Rain will have to survive the downside: a second assassin zeroing in on the target; the target's consort, an alluring and dangerous woman with an agenda of her own; the possibility that the entire mission is nothing but an elaborate setup. From the gorgeous beaches of Rio to the glitzy casinos of Macau to the gritty back streets of Hong Kong and Kowloon, Rain becomes a reluctant player in an international game far deadlier and more insidious than any he has encountered before.

"In his superb thriller series featuring charismatic Japanese-American assassin John Rain, author Barry Eisler serves up steamy foreign locales, stunning action and enough high-tech weaponry to make for an A-plus boys-and-their-toys read."
--New York Daily News

Includes a note from the author introducing the new edition.

Джон Рейн.
Наемный убийца, почитающий древний самурайский кодекс Бусидо...
Величайший "мастер смерти" Японии - страны, где подобное искусство ценится дорого.
Убийство высокопоставленного чиновника Кавамуры поначалу Джон Рейн считал всего лишь очередным "заказом".
Но все изменилось, когда он узнал, что следующая в его списке на уничтожение дочь Кавамуры - Мидори. Девушка, в которую он безнадежно влюблен.
Отказаться от "заказа"?
Но разве это спасет Мидори?!
Значит, необходимо найти и ликвидировать таинственного "заказчика"...

When John Rain learns that his former lover, Midori, has been raising their child in New York, he senses a chance for reconciliation - perhaps even redemption - and a chance to get out of the killing game. But Midori is being watched by Rain's enemies, and his sudden appearance put mother and child in extreme danger.
To save them, Rain is forced to use the same deadly talents he had been hoping to leave behind. With the help of Tatsu, his friendly nemesis in the Japanese FBI, and Dox, the ex-marine sniper whose laid-back style masks a killer as deadly as Rain himself, Rain races against time to bring his enemies into the open and eliminate them once and for all. But to finish the job, he'll need one more ally: Israeli intelligence agent Delilah, a woman who represents an altogether different kind of threat.
"I've never liked doing a job in a new place. You don't know how to get in and out undetected, you don't know what tools you'll need to access the target, you don't know where you'll stick out and where you'll be able to fade into the background or disappear into a crowd". Формат: 11 см х 18 см.

Tracking his man from the casinos of Macau to the alleyways of downtown Hong Kong, Rain will need all his formidable talents to survive. He must face beautiful and lethal foreign agents, martial arts experts - and, most of all, the possibility that his own employers aren't quite what they seem...
