Title: The Killer Collective Pdf
A fast-paced, pause-resisting novel of betrayal, vengeance, and depraved secrets in high places from the New York Times bestselling author of the John Rain and Livia Lone series.
When a joint FBI-Seattle Police investigation of an international child pornography ring gets too close to certain powerful people, sex-crimes detective Livia Lone becomes the target of a hit that barely goes awry - a hit that had been offered to John Rain, a retired specialist in "natural causes."
Suspecting the FBI itself was behind the attack, Livia reaches out to former Marine sniper Dox. Together, they assemble an ad hoc group to identify and neutralize the threat. There's Rain. Rain's estranged lover, Mossad agent and honeytrap specialist Delilah. And black ops soldiers Ben Treven and Daniel Larison, along with their former commander, SpecOps legend Colonel Scot "Hort" Horton.
Moving from Japan to Seattle to DC to Paris, the group fights a series of interlocking conspiracies, each edging closer and closer to the highest levels of the US government.
With uncertain loyalties, conflicting agendas, and smoldering romantic entanglements, these operators will have a hard time forming a team. But in a match as uneven as this one, a collective of killers might be even better.
Wow Saw a review of this book in a magazine last night-bought on Kindle at 9, feel asleep still reading it at 4AM (I know it was 4 when the kindle slipped from my sleeping fingers and hit my prone head in the nose.....) As a retired Special Forces officer and international consultant, I found the action scenes and tactics compelling, the characters and places interesting and well drawn out, and the plot uniquely intriguing. I usually read 2-3 eclectic books a week, and this is the best fiction I've read in a long while. The author is a very talented writer and word smith in turning phrases and I found myself reading several twice as I enjoyed their positioning in the ongoing character dialog. I highly recommend and am ordering the others in this series.Almost Impossible to Put This One Down! I have been an avid fan or Barry Eisler since his earliest works. I've followed the Rain storyline, the Detachment, Livia Lone, you name it. I've enjoyed them all to one degree or another, but this novel is just an utter masterpiece. I am flabbergasted by how easily, creatively, and magically Barry was able to weave these disparate threads together to tell a story that is so compelling, so intriguing, so incredibly creative, and still so edge-of-your seat. I am right on the edge of saying this is Eisler's crowning achievement, but I think I've said that before, so what that tells me is that his writing just keeps getting better and better and better. Over 16 years in, and he is still evolving as a storyteller. I think this book is also a superb opportunity to pick up Barry Eisler and read everything he's done. Yes, there are remarkably complex backstories to all these characters, and I think you're better off knowing them than not knowing them. However, the book would be just as enjoyable if this was your entré into Barry Eisler's works.Kudos ONCE AGAIN to Barry Eisler for writing one of the finest novels to start out this new year! Buy it, read it, buy it for a friend, buy it for an enemy, rinse/repeat. It's great writing, period.Standing ovation! Excellent in every way. All of Barry Eisler’s hero’s work together; John Rain, Dox, Larison, Hort, Ben Treven, Livia Lone and Delilah, to defeat extremely powerful government agencies, politicians and private military contractors. Characters are even more meaningful if you’ve read Eisler’s previous books, so you understand the depth of each character, but this book can also be a stand alone. Eisler’s is my new favorite author, right up at #1 along with Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series.
