A review by surfmonkey01
Graveyard of Memories by Barry Eisler
4.0
First off, thanks to Netgalley for a free review copy. Now then... I'm a huge fan of the John Rain series, and with the last few books pointing out how old Rain is getting, I wondered where Eisler would go next. The answer? A prequel.
It's a very good read, though. First of all, I love how Eisler brings Tokyo in the 70s to life. Second, the young Rain is very different from his older counterpart, although you can see the beginnings of the modern-day him if you squint a little bit.
I will admit to missing the extended cast that Rain had been cultivating in spite of his loner status, especially Dox. But overall, this was still a great read, and I definitely recommend it
