Silver Bear

review 1: Columbus (called for his proficiency Silver Bear) is a professional hitman. Unlike Rain (another famous book character) he is not semi-official assassin (he is not extensively used by this or that government agency). He is a cold blooded professional working for whoever can pay him, made ruthless by his very occupation were trust means betrayal and where affection means Achilles� heel. He is not a positive guy � he is very negative, sometimes even madly violent man. But he has an avenger-like attitude and mostly aims the criminals.[return][return]Very disturbing voyage into very disturbing world of underground � where life is measured only in how much money will it cost to take it away. Another novel with the same main character is expected to be published sometim... moree in 2009/2010. Looking forward to see how Columbus ends up.[return][return]Very interesting story, recommended.
review 2: Good, fast-paced character study of an assassin on the job. Has a hard-bitten style, is convincing, intelligent, and overall a worthwhile read. The true rating is really 3.5 stars...The only reason I didn't rate it higher is because I did not ache to continue reading it when I temporarily put it down, nor did it resonate with me so much that I continued to think about it after I finished the book. Perhaps it's because of the hardboiled style combined with the fact that the assassin remains an unrepentant killer that distanced me emotionally, but if you're looking for a good action thriller with character development, then this book is perfect. less
