Barry Eisler served three years with the CIA's Directorate of Operations. He has worked as a technology lawyer and as a startup executive in both Silicon Valley and Japan. In Eisler's instantly bestselling first book series featuring assassin John Rain, that lifetime of unusual experience came to a crossroads—leveraging Eisler's compelling practical knowledge into some of the most captivating crime writing we've ever read. If you read just one thriller in your lifetime, read Barry Eisler!
Readers know this Bay Area-based legend for his unputdownable stories with winning, deadly protagonists. In 2019 came the pièce de résistance: The Killer Collective, a long-anticipated novel led by a supergroup of Eisler's most popular assassins. Stunningly uniting John Rain, Livia Lone, Dox, and many others, The Killer Collective delivered the fast-paced, gripping takedown of criminals secretly backed by government officials. It was an epic collision, impossible justice served with a body-count—The Avengers for crime fiction.
And they're at it again.
Join us online for the exciting release of The Chaos Kind, the next installment for this deadly supergroup. When assistant US Attorney Alondra Diaz prosecutes a massive child-trafficking case against connected financier Andrew Schrader, blackmail material in Schrader’s hands creates enemies for Alondra at the highest levels of the US Government.
Former Marine sniper Dox and black-ops specialist Daniel Larison intervene, preventing Diaz' assassination. It will take the expertise of not only Dox and Larison, but also Seattle PD’s Livia Lone, freelance assassin John Rain, and Rain's ex-Mossad agent girlfriend Delilah to protect Diaz. As they navigate corrupt government officials, botched double-crossings and attempted assassinations, no amount of chaos will prevent this unlikely allegiance from evening the score.
For the deep satisfaction of justice served, join Barry Eisler at Kepler's on October 5.
