Meet John Sinclair. Medal of Honor. Black Belt. The savage fury of the West meets the ancient power of the East in one awesome warrior-for-hire. Genius of disguise, master of intrigue, adept in the killing arts. Chant has brought his body under his mind's control and he can make anyone's heart stop beating in a second. Even his own. In every government there's at least one person trying to buy him, and another trying to kill him. Neither can be done. Chant only takes the jobs he wants ... and completes them with deadly precision. No one can stop him. Except perhaps the man called Bai. The sensei who, years ago, trained him. The sensei now hired to kill him ...

Chant Sinclair is an awesome warrior with a deadly secret past—a self-employed mercenary/con man and the hero of " The Silent Killer".

"Every now and again a writer comes along who can use the conventions of the genre and the language of popular fiction to fashion a novel that careens ahead with the speed and promise of danger of the Indy 500... This is what George C. Chesbro does".—"The Washington Post Book World".
