Reckoning Book Plot
Reckoning book picks up after the end of the first book when Nathan Stone, a government assassin, turned on his handlers when he found out that it was his time to be eliminated. He managed to escape and destroy their UK facility and returned to the US in hopes of a new life. However, the commission has other plans.
They force a reluctant Stone to get into a new job by kidnapping his sister and only family, from a mental institution. The job is to finish off the events he set off earlier, by giving a list of targets to the journalist Mark Mahoney. The Commission now wants Stone to kill Mahoney and ensure that the story never gets out.
Stone finds out that Mahoney is in Canada pursuing the finals leads of his investigation that will finish the Commission. But he also realizes that he will never be free even if he kills Mahoney. Stone must now hatch a plan to save Mahoney as well as identify the people behind the Commission to get out of this life of killing.
Reckoning Book Review
Reckoning book fulfils the promise of the first and brings the same urgency and pace to the new instalment. Kidnapping the sister to force him back into a job smells very much like the Bourne series plot, but if you like action thrillers, the book will not disappoint you.
