David Slaton is one of the best literary action heroes with a complex grip on traumatic emotions that drive him to gruesome violence. Assassin’s Dawn gives readers a better insight into his beginnings as a bloodthirsty Mossad assassin on the warpath for all those who had a hand in the murders of his wife and two-year old daughter.
Taking place before David Slaton found himself in the frigid waters of Atlantic Ocean in Ward Larsen’s debut, Assassin’s Dawn details a much rawer side to him as he focuses solely on becoming the best assassin in order to exact his vengeance. Slaton is on a Mossad operation in Europe to surveil the brother of his family’s killer when the mission goes awry and the Mossad team has to exfiltrate. Not willing to let go of his target’s scent, Slaton hatches a bold and risky plan to land a devastating blow to the terrorist organization and follow through with his promise of vengeance.
Assassin’s Dawn shines with nail-biting tension, fast-paced action and an extremely satisfying and bloody finale. David Slaton was due a killer origin story and Ward Larsen delivers big time with a tremendously entertaining account of the mission that made David Slaton the Perfect Assassin.
