Publisher Description
Nicholas Linnear, hero of New York Times–bestseller The Ninja, returns in an all-new adventure of intrigue, deceit, and death
Returning to Tokyo after many years, Nicholas Linnear—the ninja—must make a deal with the devil if he is to maintain control of his newly launched shipping concern. The exiled Russian oligarch Vladimir Orkin is the buyer Linnear needs for his liquid natural gas, but his offer is contingent on the ninja's performance of an unusual service. Well aware of Linnear's legendary skills in martial arts, Orkin demands that he take deadly revenge on the oligarch's longtime enemy and avenge his beautiful daughter. As a final persuasion, he dangles information about Linnear's past—information the ninja has never been able to uncover on his own. The lure is irresistible, but the danger may prove his undoing. . . .

Lazy and short
Disappointing. Someone forgot to write a plot and/or any character development that’s not entirely cliche. Burned through it in under 2 hours. Could have been written by a high school junior with a good grasp of how a thesaurus works. Tons of internally contradictory gibberish phrases that are distractingly ridiculous. Could have used an editor who’s good at storytelling. Lots of re-used, stale imagery. Tokyo & neon. Zzzzzzzz. Can’t believe it was published in 2016. Don’t bother.
There. Now you’ve read almost as much as this novella, and it’s been far more interesting and though-provoking. And it was free! You’re welcome.
