Prepare to meet the world's most dangerous man . . . Nicholai Hel-genius, mystic, and the perfect, formidable assassin-was first introduced to readers in Shibumi, the classic #1 bestseller by master storyteller Trevanian. Now critically acclaimed author Don Winslow continues Hel's story for the first time in this all-new, blockbuster thriller. SATORI It is the fall of 1951, and the Korean War is raging. Twenty-six-year-old Nicholai Hel has spent the last three years in solitary confinement at the hands of the Americans. Hel is a master of hoda korosu, or "naked kill," is fluent in seven languages, and has honed extraordinary "proximity sense"-an extra-awareness of the presence of danger. He has the skills to be the world's most fearsome assassin and now the CIA needs him. The Americans offer Hel freedom, money, and a neutral passport in exchange for one small service: to go to Beijing and kill the Soviet Union's commissioner to China. It's almost certainly a suicide mission, but Hel accepts. Now he must survive chaos, violence, suspicion, and betrayal while trying to achieve his ultimate goal of satori-the possibility of true understanding and harmony with the world.

March 2021 - spy novel - love Don Winslow and the character is amazing. Loved it and put the original book on hold.

A worthy follow up to Shibumi. It fills in some of the time left open by the original, and manages to capture all that made it wonderful. It is faster paced and filled with action, but it also leaves one with the time to appreciate the mystery, beauty, and wisdom that it has to offer.

I ?Don Winslow. I really enjoyed the original story that this is based on ("Shibumi", by Trevanian) and this was the perfect follow-up. Fast-paced action if you're looking for an exciting read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
