Product Description
A dark, satirical thriller by the bestselling Japanese author, following the perilous train ride of five highly motivated assassins--soon to be a major film from Sony
Nanao, nicknamed Ladybug--the self-proclaimed unluckiest assassin in the world--boards a bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with one simple task: grab a suitcase and get off at the next stop. Unbeknownst to him, the deadly duo Tangerine and Lemon are also after the very same suitcase--and they are not the only dangerous passengers onboard. Satoshi, the Prince, with the looks of an innocent schoolboy and the mind of a viciously cunning psychopath, is also in the mix and has history with some of the others. Risk fuels him as does a good philosophical debate--like, is killing really wrong? Chasing the Prince is another assassin with a score to settle for the time the Prince casually pushed a young boy off of a roof, leaving him comatose. When the five assassins discover they are all on the same train, they realize their missions are not as unrelated as they first appear.
A massive bestseller in Japan, Bullet Train is an original and propulsive thriller that fizzes with an incredible energy and surprising humor as its complex net of double-crosses and twists unwind. Award-winning author Kotaro Isaka takes listeners on a tension-packed journey as the bullet train hurtles toward its final destination. Who will make it off the train alive--and what awaits them at the last stop?
Review
An off-beat, fast-paced, and humorous thriller, unlike any other thriller you'll find on the bookshelves.-- "Your Money Geek"


Entertaining...high-speed...with lots of twists and turns...It has a Tarantino-meets-the-Coen-Brothers feel to it.-- "The Times (London)"


Fueled by a seductively explosive premise, it's fast, deadly, and loads of fun...at once outlandish and virtuoso.-- "NPR"


Like a locked room mystery, the setting of a train keeps all the action cooped up. That, in turn, ramps the suspense up tenfold.-- "Barnes&Noble.com"


This impressive thriller from Japanese author Isaka races along, like the eponymous train, at a frenetic pace...Isaka keeps the suspense high throughout. Fans of intricate action fiction will be enthralled.-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
