Allon's Alter Ego
KF Zuzulo is the author of A Genie in the House of Saud: Zubis Rises This is one of my favorite Silva thrillers, primarily because of the subterfuge, chase, revelation, and respect between Silva's hero Gabriel Allon and the antagonist of this book, the English Assassin, who seems to serve as Allon's alter ego. The Englishman is a former British-government trained special ops soldier, now ...

Robin Hobb

Spectra, 1998

Finally, a series worthly to rival "The Lord of the Rings"
Robin Hobb is a master of story weaving. I am not especially fond of fantasy, but a friend turned me on to this series, as well as the Liveship and Tawny Man series. To maximize the effect of these interwoven novels, read them in that order (ie., The Farseer Trilogy, the Liveship Traders Series, and the Tawny Man Series.) The depth of the stories, as well as the richness and development of the ...

George Packer

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2006

Best Book on the Iraq War (so far)
Packer was an earlier supporter of the war in Iraq, who has, in the last couple of years, changed his tune. He is also an incredible writer, and Assassin's Gate is the best written book I have read on the war. Packer moves between DC and Iraq from the beginning of the plans for the war, including fascinating profiles of Anti-Saddam Iraqi and U.S. liberal who supported the war to the (almost) ...

Kazuo Koike, Goseki Kojima

Dark Horse, 2008

Ninja Duels
The warlords of Japan continue to fight for supreme power. No weapon is left unused, be it cannon or assassins. A very special assassin aims for Oda Nobunaga and it is up to Hanzo to deal with him. Throughout this issue the partnership between Ieyasu and Nobunaga, and Hideyoshi the Baldy Rat, deepens as battle follows battle, but this will not be enough when the Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen ...

Assassins: Assignment: Jerusalem, Target: Antichrist (Left Behind No. 6)

Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins

Tyndale House Publishers, 2000

Ummm.... Wow!!!
This was by far the best book in the series. The action, suspense, comedy, and elements of saddness blend so well, that its hard not to love the books for what they are. Unlike the last installments, "Assassins" takes on a darker premise. The characterization gets much more refined, because of the writers ability of putting the reader more into the minds of the character... whereas in the ...

Margaret Atwood

Anchor, 2001

Absolutely loved it!
All I need to say is I loved this book. I haven't read any of Atwood's other books but soon will. This was a book club choice and I read it over a weekend. I loved the intricate timelines, plot and suspense of it. Great book that I have since reccomended to friends.

Spectra, 1996

Innovative page turner
I've just finished the Farseer trilogy and decided to weigh in on the first book so everyone knows what they're getting into. This book was pure genius. The author goes through great pains to describe all of her characters, and does it by never shifting viewpoints from the main character! That means that you get first person perspective from the most important character in the series for all 3 ...

Brad Thor - be prepared for a lot of good reads
I just finished Takedown and I can tell you Path of the Assassin by Brad Thor is not the place to start - but it is definitely a stop along the way that you will not want to miss. The Lions of Lucerne is where it all begins. And thank Glen Beck for the introduction as he had Brad Thor on his show as a guest a few weeks back. A search for Brad's name on Amazon revealed a number of Thor books ...

Path of the Assassin Volume Volume 10: Battle for Power Part 2 (Path of the Assassin)

Various

Dark Horse, 2008

"This is a time of collective power, not the individual"
I have no idea why "Battle for Power" is an epic that begins in Volume 9, coninues here in Volume 10, and concludes in Volume 11 of "Path of the Assassin" ("Hanzo no Mon"), because it seems that it could be broken up into a series of stories. But writer Kazuo Koike and artist Goseki Kojima are ignoring all opportunities to segment their story into more conventional chunks. Since my habit in ...

Motoyasu becomes a candle flickering in the wind
There was a moment when I found myself thinking that Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima were the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby of manga, but I really do find that their work has a lot more in common with the films of Akira Kurosawa than anything in the realm of American comic books. My exposure to their work has been dictated by the production schedule of Dark Horse, which means I first read all of "Lone ...

Sins of the Assassin: A Novel

Robert Ferrigno

Scribner, 2008

Wake up & smell the coffee!!!
Both Sins of and Prayers for the Assassin are a must-read for all -- esp. all the libs who keep insisting that Islam is a peaceful religion and that we should pull our troops out of Iraq. The first thing that will grab you is the map of the United States -- we're no longer united, and most of the states are now under Muslim rule. Talk about a punch in the gut! Set in the not so distant future, ...

Signet, 2003

Exciting story of government corruption, international intrigue, and wet work.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will now be on the look out for more Silva novels. Weak review to be sure but it is late, and I had a long day yet wanted to be sure to recommmend this one.

Robin Hobb

Spectra, 1997

A dark and realistic sequel, keep it up!
I agree with brannonc below when I say the book covers leave a LOT to be desired; I disagree with users like eryk and judah who view the good guys as wimps that repeatedly suffer at the hands of the bad guys in spite of having various powers like the Skill, the Wit, the King's support, etc. The one thing that really strikes me about this series is how realistic (an oxymoron for this genre I know) ...

Dark Assassin: A William Monk Novel (William Monk Novels)

26 reviews
Anne Perry

Ballantine Books, 2007

Anne Perry's Monk NEVER disappoints.
Anne Perry's beautiful prose and her excellent scope of social values in Victorian England is top notch. Her mysteries are of both historical value and pure, unadulterated entertainment. William Monk is often a mystery in himself except what Anne Perry allows us in exquisite probing. Once begun, it's difficult to put down any Monk book. Once you finish, you're looking for the next.

Onyx, 2008

Rain is finally human
Let's be honest, how interesting can a "natural causes Terminator" be over the course of several books? Be given target X, do surveillance scan, set up hit, execute novel "natural causes hit", get paid. How _ing boring is that? Sure it makes for an exciting first book or two, but a person who doesn't grow beyond that makes my teeth itch. Thankfully Eisler didn't keep our intrepid hero ...

Was she guilty?
More specifically, was Mary Surratt guilty of helping plot the murder of Lincoln? Author Kate Clifford Larson is so convinced of Mary's complicity, she calls her Booth's accomplice. The evidence against her is circumstantial but compelling. Even today, there is a reluctance to attribute guilt to Mary Surratt. She was widely viewed as loving, kind, and regular in church attendance. Weichmann ...
