Deze serie duikt in het leven van een zeer bekwame, maar moreel gecompliceerde huurmoordenaar die het verraderlijke pad bewandelt tussen zijn dodelijke beroep en een verlangen naar verlossing.

Het verkent de complexiteit van de menselijke psyche en de uiteindelijke prijs van iemands daden, dit alles tegen een achtergrond van internationale intriges.






Een Amerikaan, die goed is in Oosterse vechtsporten, is na de Vietnamoorlog huurmoordenaar in Tokio geworden.
John Rain has gone to ground. He's had enough of doing people's dirty work for them. He's had his fill of killing. Yet when his old nemesis tracks him down, he is forced to do his bidding. Powerful, secretive elements threaten to bring down the government - and Rain must stop them the only way he knows how. Getting involved will expose his few friends and contacts to extreme danger. But no one knows this business like John Rain, and no one would underestimate a man protecting all he holds dear...
An action-packed international thriller following assassin John Rain from Brazil to the casinos of Macau and the dark streets of Hong Kong. Atmospheric, sophisticated, and incredibly suspenseful.
Rain has a new employer, Israeli intelligence organization the Mossad, which wants him to fix a "problem" in Manila; and a new partner, Dox, whose good-ol' boy persona masks a sniper as deadly as Rain himself. He also has a new hope: that by using his talents in the service of something good, he might atone for all the lives he has already taken.
Hoping to reconcile with the mother of his child, reluctant contract killer John Rain inadvertently places them in the path of dangerous enemies and is forced to recruit the help of his nemesis from the Japanese FBI and an ex-Marine sniper. Reprint.
Suppose you had to kill three people to save your best friend's life? For John Rain, it should be easy: three fast hits and disappear. But what if you figured your friend is probably going to die anyway? What if you started to think the whole thing was a setup? And what if you were afraid three was just the beginning? John Rain's going to give it a shot.
John Rain is back. And the assassin is up against his most formidable enemy yet: the nexus of political, military, media, and corporate factions known only as the Oligarchy.
