The Hunter (Victor the Assassin, #1)

Rotten Gods (Marika Hartmann, #1)
by
"A geopolitical/counter terrorist thriller which has a environmental subtext hidden in it. And surprisingly it's pretty good as well with the most creative hostage taking that's been pulled off in the genre in a long time. "

Typhoon
by
"The Quiet American for the 21st century. Completely morally ambiguous and forces us readers to question whether we can desire better relations with the PRC while still wanting to keep the loot. "

Noble House (Asian Saga, #5)
by
"It's a spy thriller wrapped in a love story hidden in a business thriller and garnished in an epic tale.
Samuel
rated it 5 stars
with Characters which will make Jay Gatsby look like a small time piker, a epic and highly accurate snapshot of 1960's Hong Kong and one heck of a love letter to Aynd Rand's philosophy, this is one epic saga that you shouldn't miss. " See Review |
