    If you had to kill three people to save your best friend's life, would you do it? When John Rain decides to get out of the business, his hand is forced by rogue CIA operative Jim Hilger. Hilger kidnaps Dox, Rain's trusted partner and closest friend, and offers Rain a choice: carry out a final assignment, or bear the responsibility for Dox's murder.

    Story

    Based on many of the reviews, I bought this audio book. I listened to the whole thing, but have to agree with one of the other reviewers who mentioned that the narrator often sounded like a William Shatner wannabe. It also seemed like he was occasionally trying to over dramatize much of the book.

    That being said there were some very edge of the seat moments, but I wasn't glued to my car radio waiting to hear what happened next through much of the book. I also found much of the story over-detailed. I just wanted the author to get on with it.

    I would recommend this book because others may enjoy it's format, not find the narrator as distracting as I did and enjoy the detail.
