Don't remember the last time I gave a 5 star review. But, this book deserves it.If you've read any of the "assassin" or "sniper" books out there, and you like the genre...just buy this. This is one of the best book of the entire genre I've read.  It's not a "sniper" book, but the preparation and detail that go into these assassinations is very similar. It's not really a govt "conspiracy" CIA/Spook type of book, but it has the feel of the Bourne series. I read it all in 2 days.You're not supposed to like this guy. You shouldn't like this guy. He even says, as aside..."I told you not to like me."  But, you get drawn in. You still may not like him (tho, you probably will)...but you end up rooting for him just the same. He's a murderer. A real Assassin. There's nothing redeeming about what he does. It doesn't matter, you want him to succeed. Not sure what that says about us, but it says a lot about the author.The only minor issue I had with the book, is how someone with no education or experience in this, becomes the best in the business almost overnight, with no real buildup. One day he's out of a juvenile home as a kid. The next day he's a professional assassin, one of the best. With all the knowledge and skills of a world travelling, underworld Jason Bourne. How that came to be was a little weak in this story, imho.But, I don't care.Excellent writing. Excellent pace. Very polished book. For $2.99?  Don't even think about it, buy it. I was looking up what else this author had done. Noticed he has another book out, but it's $11.99!! Geesh. Haven't paid that much since I went to digital formats. Might still buy it, especially if it's anything like this. But, it shows you the value of this book.
