Order of John Rain Books
John Rain stands as the compelling half-Japanese, half-American protagonist at the heart of Barry Eisler's acclaimed action thriller series. A former US Special Forces operative brought to life by Eisler, who drew upon his own CIA background, Rain made his literary debut in Rain Fall before becoming the central figure in multiple subsequent novels. This complex character has anchored an entire series of gripping thrillers, with each book building upon Rain's unique background and deadly skill set.
