Book Description

Nicholas Linnear Novel April 27, 2010
The suspense master behind Robert Ludlum’s™ Jason Bourne thrillers, Eric Van Lustbader brings a riveting epic adventure to an explosive conclusion, as Nicholas Linnear—the Ninja—takes on his most formidable enemy.

After the apocalyptic destruction of Floating City, Linnear’s sworn nemesis has fled the ruined Vietnamese blood empire to remount the assault that will solidify his ultimate power and destroy the Ninja. Mick Leonforte, an international corporate power broker and criminal czar, is preparing for a final confrontation on the battleground where business and warfare become one. With the help of seasoned NYPD detective Lew Croaker and the dazzlingly cunning Vesper Arkham, Linnear pursues his prey—placing Koei, the woman he loves above all else, in the vengeful path of Kshira—the terrible force that even the master who trained him in the mysteries of psychic warfare was powerless to escape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will leave you breathless., January 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Second Skin (Paperback)
Outstanding. Lustbader excels himslef with this, the sixth of the Nicholas Linnear novels. I have followed his work since the release of "The Ninja" and haven't been able to put his books down.

Second Skin takes Nicholas on a journey which will almost see him lose his entire corporate empire, to almost losing his re-found childhood love, to discovering the other secrets within him as a result of him being Tanjian. In typical Lustbader fashion, the story switches from the past to the present providing the necessary historical content that brings him to the point in his life that we read about as we progress through the book.

The great thing about Second Skin also is that it fills in many of the gaps that were left in "Kaisho" and "The Floating City"

If you enjoyed those two, you will be embraced by Second Skin.

My most sincere congratulations to Mr Lustbader on magnificent book. I have alreasy read it 3 times. I only hope and pray there is a seventh Linnear novel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Anticlimatic, October 22, 2002
This review is from: SECOND SKIN (Hardcover)
This is the sixth and final installment of Lustbader's saga of Nick Linnear. On the plus side it does clear up all the loose ends that were left hanging in the previous five volumes. However the main problem is the final battle scene. After five books, each over 500 pages long, the final battle between Nick and his ultimate antagonist only last a page and a half! I felt that Lustbader was working his way up to a real no holds barred fight but just sort of sizzled in the end. An overall great series and overall a good ending if you discount the brevity of the final fight.
