Publisher's summary

For Delilah, the Mossad's top seductress, the parameters of the assignment were routine. The contractor: MI6. The objective: infiltrate a terror network, this one operating out of London. The stakes: a series of poison gas attacks on civilian population centers.There's just one wrinkle. The target is a woman - as smart, beautiful, and committed as Delilah herself. And for a cynical operative thrust suddenly out of her element, the twists and turns of the spy game are nowhere near as dangerous as the secrets and desires of the human heart.

Good Short Listen

Enjoyed this short story about Delilah from her perspective. In this listen she is in London on assignment, but this time it's to befriend a woman as opposed to a relationship with a man.
During the assignment and afterward she struggles with decisions she had to make and the consequences.

Can't believe I have read them all!

I enjoyed having a short story for a change. It was no less enjoyable for that reason though. I guess I have become addicted to his characters after this many books in a row. Like all the rest I could not I put it down.

I have now read all his books!

cant wait for the new one. i read this one out of order because I thought I wouldn't like a short story just about Delilah. I was totally wrong. It was so great to get a little more insight into who Delilah is as a person. As for the sex scene that other reviewers have mentioned, yes, there is a graphic scene between 2 women but it's only one chapter. and it is written quite well -- way to go Barry!

London Twist

I love Barry Eisler books. He's also one of my favorite narrator's. Can't wait to start a new book.

I enjoyed this novella

I very much enjoyed this book. I think very Eisler should write more about the Delilah character. I think this would be and enjoyable extension of the whole story line that has been created here.

Eisler continues to have new and different plots

Too often the hero or heroin is the same but with different names. The same plots are repeated as well. This continues the "no two alike" that Eisler produces.

A slight disappointment

This novel is not as breathtaking as the others of his work. The story is closer to fantasy than a spy novel.

Delilah novella

The Israeli assassin Delilah shows up repeatedly in John Rain series novels by Barry Eisler. This novella is about Delilah. It's a good espionage story interlaced with graphic lesbian sex. Barry Eisler does a great job narrating as usual.
