The more I read of Barry Eisler's John Rain series, the more I like it. His style is terrific, his characters are okay, not spectacular, and the setting descriptions are extraordinary. It's like meeting an old friend.
Someone wrote a review about it and said, James Bond meets Shogun. I agree. I actually think that these are a smidge better than James Bond novels if only because I can relate to them more easily.
I'm a huge fan, and I find it refreshing to be moving from Dickens to Eisler. A long jump, but worth it.
