The assassination of a Caribbean dictator. A hit on a traitor in Beirut. The murder of a CIA officer behind the Iron Curtain.
So begins the game.
It's 1964 - the height of the Cold War - and an unknown team of assassins is targeting agents of the British Intelligence. In desperation, the agency sends in their best agent to hunt down the killers.
Jack "Gorilla" Grant isn't your typical secret agent. Uncompromising and rough-edged, he doesn't fit in with the elitist and debonair intelligence operatives.
Drawn into a deadly game where nothing is as it seems, Jack soon realizes that even the perfect spy can die in a wilderness of mirrors.
Praise from readers
★★★★★ - "It's been ages since I got my hands on a "can't put down" cold war spy novel. A Game for Assassins is it."
★★★★★ - "A very nice mix of British formality in contrast to the heavy hand of the CIA... A satisfying read."
★★★★★ - "Intelligently written thriller."

I did read the whole book, but I wasn't thrilled by it. The author could have benefited from a good editor; I skipped whole pages without it screwing up my understanding of the story. The lack of punctuation was also disturbing--there was hardly any commas in the story, and I found myself re-reading lines to figure out what exactly he was trying to say. Typos were also a problem which got worse as the book went on. The author used the word 'reigns' when he meant 'reins'. The book was going on at a good clip when it suddenly veered into a side story (which could have been a novel in itself), then did it again near the end. Frankly, I felt like I wasted my time.Product details

A Game for Assassins The Redaction Chronicles Book 1 edition by James Quinn Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I enjoyed reading this novel and learned a few things about spycraft, given the author's background. Some typos appear, and there is a bit of historical background but it does not detract from the plot. Recommended for those who like action.
I really liked this book but I did not love it. My first thought about the book was it moved so slowly I didn't know if I could get through it. But I did. And in the end, near the end of the book it began to move more rapidly but only slightly. I also thought this was a reprise of the James Bond series but with, as the author called him, Gorilla, the principal character, bring a more average kind of murderer, if there is such a thing. I start all reviews which I do with five stars as the norm. There is nothing about the usage, the organization, the editing, the actual language presented which put me off. It was only the slowness of the tale which caused me to arrive at a point where I just could not say I loved the book. The story is good. The main character, with just a wee bit more development, would be an outstanding character. How do we know he is a rather banal man? His ability to be an assassin and to withstand the mental difficulties which come with killing another human being are the principal discussions of his life and growth to the point where the MACE mission is concluded. I give it four stars despite the slowness because of the story.
It's been ages since I got my hands on a "can't put down" cold war spy novel and "A Game for Assassins" is it. Double dealing, back stabbing, international assassins on both sides and rogue CIA agents. If you're a fan of well written 1960's era spy thrillers go for the $5 and buy it. You will not be disappointed
James Quinn can really write - dialog, action, descriptive passages, are all well crafted.
What keeps the book from being a '5'?
- a bit slow in place
- some typos, including a nonsense French sentence - "Phillipe, est que vous?" - s/b "est-ce vous?" ; and an incorrect homophone - "heirs and graces" - s/b "airs and graces"
I'll certainly read more of his writing,
The blurb that got me to buy this book was better written than the book itself. The plots and reason's why' all the assassinations happen are very slow to develop, so at times I almost ready to delete it from my kindle.
Mr. Quinn is quite the story teller! It's obvious that he has had actual experience in the world of covert operations. The fire fights came to life and the story was limited to the use of the technology in existence in the mid 60s. It's a long book but a fast read. In the beginning there are some seemingly unrelated actions but Mr. Quinn quickly ties them together.
Get this book, if you like espionage action stories you're in for a treat! Happy reading!
As a retired Detroit police sgt whose assignment included the Tactical Unit-twice, Homicide-twice, and the original training sgt fr the SWAT Team who went on to being a training specialist for a federal agency with direct counter terrorist responsibilities, this is the best book on the subject I've read in decades. Did contract training with members of the Regiment and thoroughly enjoyed their company. Great work and more, please!
