Has anyone noticed the similarities between Barry Eisler and Master Keaton? I think they may actually be one and the same. If you compare, Master Taichi Keaton is half Japanese, half English, as is the star of Eisler’s thriller series about assassin John Rain. Okay, technically John Rain is half American, but close enough. Master Keaton is an investigator on behalf of the British Lloyd’s insurance syndicate and he travels around the world, depending on his survival training skills to get him out of trouble, just like John Rain. The difference is that John Rain looks for people to kill, sort of like Tony Soprano, yeah, you know, Tony Soprano from HBO. Master Keaton, on the other hand, looks to solve crimes, like the ones that John Rain commits. So maybe they are mirror reflections of each other, one yin, the other yang. Wow. That’s really deep, man. Whoa. This is freakin’ me out.
Judge for yourself. I think they’re the same. Barry Eisler is Master Taichi Keaton. Like they say, write what you know.
