John Rain is at a crossroads. He thinks he can get out of the "assassination game" alive and unfettered. But individuals who represent different agendas want him to stay in the Game, but concentrate on their own personal agendas. Each tries a type of coercion that puts the few people he truly cares about in danger. This is why his resurrection is so very lonely. Its setting the scene for team interactions, but whose team will he choose?? Because I learned about Rain through the Livia Lone series I already know he's going to think "outside" the parameters others are setting..but this book doesn't share what choice he's going to make yet. Great setup for next book in series. I'm thoroughly enjoying it...highly recommend it.
