For years now, the Forces have been under control of the Kingdom. After the entire royal family had been assassinated and the Kingdom had fallen, the Forces have taken control over everybodys lives. It wasnt until a Retaliation group had been formed did people begin gaining their hope back once again. As the years passed by, members of the Retaliation began dying off slowly until there was hardly anyone left. Ashe was one of the very few people left to survive and yet, she is being attacked around every corner she turns. It is only by a miracle she is able to escape so far, but just one person cant evade the Forces forever. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Jones knows something about China and the story's background and occasional use of the Chinese language, not always translated, are appropriate and accurate. But the story piles incredulity upon incredulity as the hero, with the unlikely name of Tag Baca, wanders through the corpse-filled streets of Tianjin and into the mountains of Manchuria in search of his prey, ultimately dulling the effect of a rather primal story of revenge. Of course, the fact that a blond female American reporter manages to tag along doesn't help things on the realism scale either, and the comparisons of this woman to his Chinese wife (who perhaps to keep down the complaints of a few misogynists, is half-French) don't have the impact or the poignancy the author is striving for.
Which is not to say this isn't still a good, action-packed, highly atmospheric read, and a great example of the cold war thriller. ( )
