However if you're not familiar with John Rain, may I suggest that you read the entire series from the beginning starting with Rain Fall and then move onto Fault Line and Inside Out.

I enjoyed the first chapter -- my first ever taste of Rain. I also think you're right about the news and one's personal world view. It's the only explanation I can come up with for what passes as journalism these days.<br /><br />Thanks, Barry.

Have a look and see what you think, and no worries if the politics put you off. All political thrillers are political (by definition); when they mesh with our worldview, though, they seem apolitical, and it's only those that are at odds with our beliefs that strike us as "political." That might be the case here.<br /><br />Thanks, Harvee, and hope you enjoy!Barry Eislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785333622697500192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-58434740586862778962011-09-15T11:32:08.968-04:002011-09-15T11:32:08.968-04:00Hi Barry.

Not going to start at Chapter 4, so I traveled to the site for One, but couldn't easily find the chapter. I did see a whole lot of political stories, some headlines for which I found offensively stupid. I must not be Barry's target audience.Jack Getzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516237388744739669noreply@blogger.com
