Satori

by Don Winslow
Save up to 61%
Satori - Thryft
Satori - Thryft

Cold War espionage thriller with philosophical depth.

If you're a fan of finely crafted spy novels, "Satori" is bound to satisfy. Don Winslow masterfully continues Trevanian's legacy, delivering a protagonist in Nicholai Hel who's both enigmatic and superbly skilled. The historical backdrop of the Korean War adds a layer of tension that makes this more than just a spy novel; it's a dive into the psyche of an assassin with a code. You'll find yourself rooting for Hel's freedom, in a world where every move could be his last.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Nicholai Hel-a Westerner by birth but an Asian by upbringing-speaks seven languages, kills with a naked hand, and is a master of the world's most challenging game of Go. All this has made him a very dangerous man-an assassin who blends in anywhere, doesn't need weapons to kill his targets, and sees ten moves ahead. Released from three years of honing his mental and physical skills in solitary confinement on the condition that he kill a high-ranking Soviet official in China, Hel must survive a suicide mission to save his own life and the beautiful French spy that he loves. It's the height of the Cold War. The game is lethal, the stakes enormous. Nicholai Hel is on the board.
