I was disappointed in the last John Rain novel, but I did say I felt that it was building up to something fantastic. I am so happy I was right! Book 5 has been the best in the series so far. At first, I thought the pace was way too fast, but Eisler masterfully reined it back in about 2/3 of the way through, & so many open storylines closed just like that, with my jaw hanging open. I'm very excited to move on to move on to Book 6. 5 out of 5 stars.
