Although Barry Eisler had been on my radar for a while—my Upgrade series covers were designed by the same artist as some of his books—I only recently picked up The Killer Collective. It turned out to be an incredibly enjoyable page-turner that brings together a crew you can't help but root for. The novel expertly blends intense action with a gripping plot, tackling some sensitive and thought-provoking topics. I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Eisler himself, and his skill in giving each character a distinct voice truly elevated the experience. Five stars.
