THE KILLER COLLECTIVE

He's done it again--narrator Barry Eisler has reprised his impressive author/narrator double role for a superbly delivered audiobook. This thriller continues with the professional killers from the preceding books, but even listeners new to the series will relish the personalities and plot twists. As the assassins form an unlikely team to eradicate a child pornography ring, Eisler capably distinguishes their voices. John Rain is persuaded to come out of retirement in a remote Japanese village, and Eisler's depiction reflects Rain's Asian introspection. Livia Lone, a Seattle detective with a secret vigilante double identity, has a slightly feminine quality without sounding delicate. Eisler presents ex-Marine Dox with a slightly over-the-top Texas twang. Best of all, the action scenes are fast paced and intense. N.M.C.
