The Shaman: Book Two in the Dan Stone Assassin Series
Dan is dropped into the Chihuahuan desert to assassinate the head of the Sinaloa cartel. When his extraction is botched, his mission suddenly becomes more complex and dangerous. He flees into the desert where he gets lost and death threatens. There he meets a shaman who shows him the spiritual dimension to life and how Dan is part of a larger story going on, a battle between good and evil, light and darkness. The shaman takes Dan on a spirit journey and Dan’s world suddenly gets more complicated than he ever imagined.
The Indian mystic sends Dan on an additional mission which challenges his sanity and may cost him his life. Along the way he tries to save the beautiful wife and children of the drug lord he had assassinated. Dan has to complete the tasks given him by the shaman without help from his CIA handlers and then try to make it out of the country on his own.
If you’re a fan of Jack Reacher or Mitch Rapp, you’ll enjoy Dan Stone’s adventures in this action packed thriller.

Best one yet!Who would think Author David Nees could bring a primary character into the story with such research of her and see its major contribution and importance to believability. Even my wife would enjoy this! What comes next?

Beautiful MusicDan Stone is rescued by the beautiful music. But the Evil powers pursue him relentlessly. This could easily be an Arthurian story, set in the 11th century.

What a great series.Book one thru four takes you into the lonely world of an American sniper and that there are spiritual forces to help man kind. Book 5, continues with his life that will never be normal. Love this series.

Outstanding series!David Nees is at the top of my list of authors! His writings of books one through four in the Dan Stone series held me tied to the plot line through its entire length… without any let down. Without exception, lead character Dan Stone equals the baddest of the Intelligence Super Hero Ghosts including the three Jacks, Ryan, Nobel, and Reacher! I don’t want to give away anything that might lessen your enjoyment of this book. My only regret is that there is no Book 5 to go onward. But as mister Nees masterfully drew all the loose threads to a conclusion in The Assassin and the Pianist, he left the door slightly ajar for a future follow up for further Dan Stone episodes with Jane, his CIA handler and the rest of the supporting characters. Perhaps that is only my wishful thinking but It gives me something to hope for from this outstanding writer.Addendum: My wish for book 5 in the Dan Stone series apparently flew outward on supersonic wings and has already been granted with the latest addition, Death In The Congo. I have no idea what direction this newest addition will go but I’m looking forward to a an exciting ride with Dan Stone book #5. Thank you David Nees!

Good readStarts slow, but picks up. A lot of music info that was hard to follow, but the book is still worth reading.

Beauty and the beastMysteries of one losing memories are always in enticing. Was one nice or a beast? Dan meets a beautiful concert pianist, Christiana who saves him from assassins while he is trying to regain memory of who he was. She is at a career transition: great technique but lack of emotion. Dan takes care of that and ignites her libido with steamy romance novel scenes. Ok, but this is an action book, and soon bullets fly. All kind of bad guys trying to hurt civilization with a virus. Dan soon finds he has techniques AND emotion as body counts pile up. This was a great story as one would not expect the art angle. As a pianist myself, I wish she played some crowd pleasers such as, Rachmaninov prelude in G Minor or Chopin Fantasie. Playing more Chopin would help Christiana’s conversion. It didn’t hurt Rubinstein. So what happens to the lovers? That is worth the price of admission… great job.

Excellent Page-TurnerThis series stands out in a genre chock-full of violent thrillers. It is about an American, yet not too Yank to appeal to a wider audience. Much of the series is based in Europe and elsewhere, so it isn’t the typical parochial US-based thriller. It is well-written and very engaging, by an author who is clearly well-traveled.
