This is the second book of the Hiram Kane Series and, like the first one, is rife with beautifully detailed descriptions of exotic locales. Additionally, it is brimming with fascinating cultural insights regarding the legendary Samurai as well as the modern Japanese people. This installment has Hiram battling epic storms and the fabled Yakuza so it is no understatement to say that the story is fast-paced and filled with action. This story offers daring rescues, fight scenes, acts of treachery and deceit, as well as incredible acts of courage and inspirational heroism. A bit of Hiram’s background is revealed as the story unfolds and it is my hope that more details will be forthcoming in future books as Hiram is a most unusual and very interesting character. For those choosing to listen to the audio version of this story, the narrator, Kenneth Bryant, did an excellent job. He is especially good with the Japanese language and at making each character distinct. Whether reading or listening, I think most action/adventure enthusiasts will thoroughly enjoy this little gem.
While I did purchase a copy of this book, I was given a copy of the audiobook by the author and I am voluntarily offering my honest and unbiased review.

HAVE YOU READ 'THE TIGER TEMPLE' YET?
A betrayed criminal. A kidnapped child. A deadly race against time.
On the Island of the Gods, world-renowned expedition leader Hiram Kane is on holiday after a long season guiding in the Peruvian Andes.
When a good friend’s greed leads him to betray Bali’s most notorious gangster, their peaceful community is left shell-shocked after the six-year-old daughter of its leader gets kidnapped in a vicious and violent raid on a peaceful religious ceremony.
What follows is a whirlwind race across the paradise island to rescue the girl before ‘The Rooster’ takes his sadistic revenge.
With the waking giant of volcanic Mount Agung threatening to destroy them all, will Kane risk everything to prevent a devastating tragedy?
The Tiger Temple is the rip-roaring starter to the internationally bestselling Hiram Kane action thriller series, and will appeal to fans of Clive Cussler, Nick Thacker, Ernest Dempsey, and Russell Blake.
Englishman Steven Moore grew up by the seaside, thus his first true joy was the great outdoors. His innate love of travel and a degree in anthropology, archaeology, and art history help inform his fiction writing. Steven also loves painting, photography, and both playing and watching sport.
The travel bug bit the now perpetual nomad early, and to date Steven has lived and worked on five continents, and visited almost sixty countries. Steven combines an age-old writing adage; Write what you know, with his own mantra; Write where you know, and sets most of his novels in places in which he has either lived or spent an extended period of time.
When not on the road with his writer wife Leslie, San Miguel de Allende in Mexico is home, which they share with their rescue cats Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald (Ernie and Fitz).
A lifelong love of food, wine, and beer have demanded a new-found love of yoga and hiking in order to fend off the imminent arrival of middle age.
CONDOR PUBLISHING and STEVEN MOORE present... the bestselling Hiram Kane bestselling action thriller series!
