Table of contents

In Crank , it turns out near the end that Chev Chelios' assassination was planned by Verona. The Bride seeks revenge after Bill and the other members of her organization blow away her entire wedding party, give her a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown and put one in her skull. Budd is killed by Elle using a black mamba in the Briefcase Full of Money. Smith is a double example of this, since both Mr. Smith are betrayed by their respective agencies.

In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country , the two low-ranked crewmen who actually carried out the assassination against Gorkon and many of his aides are in turn shot with a phaser on stun right against the temples by the orchestrator on board the Enterprise , Lieutenant Valeris, killing them without setting off the weapon discharge alarms.

Valeris almost suffers this fate as well as a second assassin tries to clean up loose ends after our heroes thwart the attempt on the Federation President's life at the Khitomer peace summit. In This Gun for Hire , after Raven kills someone his employer reports a fake robbery and gives the police the numbers of the bills with which he paid for the murder.

In Hitman , Agent 47 is betrayed by his superiors after carrying out the assassination of the Russian President, because he's the only one who knows for sure that the guy is dead and has been replaced by a body double. Everyone else thinks he was only wounded. Attack of the Clones: After assassin Zam Wesell has been caught by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jango Fett shoots her with a poison dart to keep her from spilling any details on their attempt to kill Senator Amidala. Chapter 2 , Big Bad Santino orders a hit on John after he forces the latter to murder his sister so he can gain a seat at the High Table.

When John kills forty of Santino's men in about four minutes , Santino extends a seven million dollar contract on John that results in a legion of independent assassins coming after him.

This is mentioned in Shooter , with a man claiming that the real killers of JFK were themselves killed and buried in the desert within hours of the assassination. It foreshadows the fact that the main character who is set up to look like an assassin will be targeted for the same fate. The Venezuelan film Sicario has a group of Columbian street kids being trained for an assassination by a cartel boss. He picks the best one, the protagonist Jairo, and sends his men to kill the others. Despite a speech by the Affably Evil cartel boss how they're Not So Different , Jairo knows full well he's next on the list after he carries out the assassin , so draws a gun on his best friend who's driving his getaway motorbike, only to be forced to kill him when he refuses to let him just walk away.

Jairo and his girlfriend then try to get out of the city, only for Jario to be gunned down by another street kid like himself. Achimas thinks his contractor betrayed him as he expected from the start but it turns out that it was just his liaison who tried pocketing Achimas' payment. His contractor lets Achimas kill the liaison and thanks him for a well-done job.

The Original Trilogy has Zane in "The Well of Ascension", who his employer his own father has people attempt to kill in his sleep near the end of his story for what said father assumes to be a betrayal of Zane's own.

The attempt fails, but Zane doesn't return the favor. He, in turn, hires someone else to be the actual gunman, with the intention to kill him once the hit had been done and escape in the chaos that would surely follow an attempt on the Pope's life. It doesn't turn out that way, as Jack Ryan sees and subdues the Bulgarian before the hit occurs, but doesn't realize there's another gunman until he starts shooting. In Extremis , Rain goes to great lengths to protect Midori, who ends up betraying him to the Yakuza in the belief that he'll always be a threat to their son.

However Horton is working both sides and intends to Leave No Witnesses of his involvement. In Dune the Baron Harkonnen not only has Yueh killed after he opens House Atreides' defenses and brings Duke Leto to him, he kills Yueh's wife whom he was holding hostage as well. Though, Yueh was expecting that and hid a poison gas capsule in the Duke's teeth. Underbelly looks at the phenomenon with gangsters and standover men betraying and killing each other, with highlights including Benji Veniman who may or may not have been betrayed by Mick Gatto, or may or may not have betrayed him by killing his best mate Graham.

Gatto was released on self defense and Graham is by now a cold case, unsolved.

Assassin Lewis Caine would also be set up and killed by an old gangster called The Journeyman, who wanted everyone dead so he could move in and take over. Another title would be "L'iL Abner kills everyone! This is one of the worst books I ever read! The dialogue was written by someone who's second language is English. I finished it because I don't quit, but it was hard. The opening was good but it went down hill from there.

This guy knows as much about guns as a 5 year old. What he learned about guns he learned from someone who had watched a movie about making butter. One person found this helpful. I enjoyed this book very much From beginning to end. It was so exciting and thrilling, had me so captivated. Great read from start to finish. I could not put it down. I liked the location descriptions.

I really forced my way into this and it just kept getting worse and worse. Lame story, crap dialogues, gorgeous italian secret agents, it's really silly. He manages to shoot every terrorist in the head, escapes multiple kill attempts, drives like Andretti, this is crap.

Product details

Reads like a high school assignment. I don't know if the other reviewers and I were reading the same book - the author needs to go back to Ludlum and study his style. This is not what I expected. Terrible plot, reads like it was written by a middle school student, filled with pure idiocy and so unbelievable so as to break suspension of belief, if I hadn't been stuck on a Trans-Atlantic flight I wouldn't have read past the first chapter.

This is the worst book I have read in years, childish writing, predictable plot development and zero character development. This book appears to be written by an amateur. The conversations and interactions of the characters have no depth and are juvenile in their development. This is my first review. See all 19 reviews. Most recent customer reviews.
