When the world's top ten hitmen compete in a last man standing, winner-take-all contest for one hundred million dollars, the only rule is to stay alive. And for retired assassin Johnny Dane, getting out of the business doesn't mean getting out of the game. Welcome to the world of high-priced contract killers and the sport they've been thrust into. However, to the dismay of the wealthy men and women betting on him to win, Dane has been notoriously absent from the contest. Having left the life, he's disappeared to an oceanfront hideaway and has vowed never to return. But when the game finds him and threatens the only woman he's ever loved, this killer quickly realizes the only way out is to get back in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Non-Stop Action!, February 20, 2008

This review is from: Number One with a Bullet (Paperback)

This novel started out as an podiobook available through iTunes, and it might still be downloadable in chapters over there). I found myself anxiously awaiting each new chapter. Yet I wished I could just have the book's core content without all the prelim stuff, author promotions, commentary that was only semi-related, etc. With the print version of N1B this is possible. Neat characters who you love to hate, come to feel for and just draw you in to the story. Action that makes you not want it to go away. All in all a well crafted piece of work.

This review is from: Number One with a Bullet (Paperback)

The podcast version of Number One with a Bullet won the 2007 Parsec Award for Best Non-Speculative Fiction... and it was well-deserved. Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff has a flair for description and action that allows the listener (and reader) to visualize the story so vividly, you'll wonder why NiB hasn't hit your movie theater. NiB feels like a Bourne movie, with characters you'll love (and love to hate!).

An awesome, action packed story of Johnny Dane, a retired hitman forced back into the lifestyle to save the woman he loves by competing in a last man standing assassin face-off. It was impossible to lay down the book without yearning to know what was to happen on the next page.
