À propos de cet audio

 The "Chinaman" understood death.

Jungle-skilled, silent, and lethal, he had killed for the Viet Cong and then for the Americans. He had watched helpless as his two eldest daughters were raped and killed by Thai pirates. Now, all that was behind him. Quiet, hard-working, and unassuming, he was building up his South London take-away business - until the day his wife and youngest daughter were murdered by an IRA bomb. Then he began to ask the authorities who were the men responsible, what was being done - and was turned away, fobbed off, treated as a nuisance. That was when the Chinaman, denied justice, decided on revenge...and went back to war.

Ce que les critiques en disent

" The Chinaman is a gem of a thriller, perfectly constructed and full of the unexpected." ( Library Journal)

Having seen the movie prior to listening to the book, I admit to being biased in my overall appreciation of the book's plot. I guess as with all books made into movies, I wish some parts of the book were in the film, and some elements of the film were in the book. I am a bit disappointed by how, in the book, the main character is dealt with at the end versus the not so happily ever after yet a hope of troubled happiness at the end of the film. Even so, if you get the audio book you should be very satisfied that your time was well spent with an engaging story written by a man with obvious talent and read by a man with equally obvious talent - a perfect match. Thanks for the story. I am now a fan.

Very well written and nicely put together
