In the aftermath of a major terrorist attack in Tokyo by an Aum Shinrikyo-like cult, Felix Leiter finds himself unwittingly drawn into the investigation. And under the oversight of Tiger Tanaka-the Japanese James Bond-and with a squad of Tanaka's elite operatives, Leiter himself helps to bring down the cult's leader!
But now it's up to Leiter and Tanaka to work desperately against the clock: they must discover the secret of the cultist's deadly bio-weapon - especially if they're going to try and avert another terrorist attack!
The halfway mark of the series doesn't provide for any big reveals but it does build up both events and characters. The bioweapon itself is interesting in how effective it can be and the uncertainty there makes it a very dangerous thing in general. I like what we get from Tanaka and his team in how that unfolds and his time with Leiter there. Leiter's dream sequence brings up a lot of his past when it comes to Alena and knowing she's going to be a big part of things in the second half just makes it clear how much of a problem it's going to be when the two have to truly face off again. Solid material all around that leaves me wanting a lot more of it all. Read Full Review
