really liked it

A thrilling dark and ingenious follow-up to Hezroni's highly acclaimed debut novel: "Three Envelopes" Although this continues the storyline of his debut, it can certainly be enjoyed as a standalone. This tale further delves into the twisted mind of rogue, psychopathic Israeli intelligence officer: "10483" ... who is out for revenge against the highly covert agency ... known simply as " The
Organization". He knows his handlers manipulated him into the savage killing of three targets with a tremendous inadvertent collateral damage to innocents. And, then by mind manipulation causing to eliminate himself. His vengeance knows no bounds.
Through cutting edge technology a process has been developed .... Transformation ...resulting in a re-wiring the brain to allow manipulation of the individual like a puppet. Although 10483 did jump in front of a bus, as programmed, in 2006, he somehow survived and wallowed in a semi-conscious state for almost a decade. When he regains consciousness he is hell bent on a path of righteous vengeance to take down The Organization and any agent deemed responsible for his betrayal.
A complex , riveting scenario of destruction with a psychopathic mundane disregard is juxtaposed with his relishing of the local cuisine.
This dark thriller is a superb follow-up to his debut novel ... and most likely will also be high acclaimed by both critic and reader. Not everyday can one be immersed into the mind of a madman. Thanks to Netgalley and St Martin's Books for providing an Uncorrected Proof of this great read in exchange for an honest review!!!!
