| I third the Vlad Taltos books. Great stuff.
Also, I just finished reading 'The Last Assassin' by Barry Eisler. His main character is John Rain, and he has several other books out (Killing Rain, Rain Fall, and some other clever titles with the word 'Rain' in them).
He mainly writes in first person, but he switches characters. It's a bit unusual when he makes the first switch, but I got used to it pretty quick. In all, an entertaining read. Eisler was apparently in the CIA for a few years, and he really goes into detail. I don't mean that in an Anne Rice sort of way where he describes what a pencil feels like for 8 pages, but in the sort of way where John Rain considers all the possibilities of a situation and prepares himself for whatever job he's on. |
