Fault Line a Salon Best of 2009
Salon.com names Fault Line as one of the best of 2009: "My pick for 2009 is Barry Eisler's Fault Line. Eisler has reinvented the spy thriller for the 21st century. His fast-paced plots and action sequences are not slowed down by his careful exploration of moral ambiguity and the space he gives his characters to develop...." Read more here.

Indies Love Fault Line!
Happy to say that early feedback on Fault Line from indie booksellers has been great: Bookworks in Albuquerque has already nominated the book for Indie Bound's prestigious Indie Next list! Here's what the store's Susan Wasson had to say:
"This is an outstanding Eisler with entirely new characters. Throw together a patent lawyer, an Iranian woman who is his associate, and an inventor of a new encryption application that could also be a very destructive weapon and you have the perfect set-up for murder in this engrossing thriller. The lawyer is in totally over his head so he calls on his estranged brother, a black-ops specialist. With the global war on terror, the story line is very timely. I enjoyed this immensely, couldn't turn the pages fast enough, and was sorry it was over at the end!"
For excerpts, contests, and more about the book (and about the Rain Fall movie, too), stop by my discussion board and say hello. Hope to see you there.

Coming in March 2009: FAULT LINE...
Information about Fault Line, Barry's upcoming thriller, is now online!
Fault Line is the story of two brothers, estranged by old but still-simmering family hurts and by conflicting cultural and life choices, who are forced to put aside their grievances, and to confront their own painful secrets, when one of them becomes a target in an international struggle for control of a powerful new technology. Though not set in Rain's universe, it has all the elements Rain fans seem to like in the books: realistic action and tradecraft; exotic locations; compelling characters; current political backstory; steamy sex. Barry had a blast writing it and hopes you'll enjoy it at least as much.

Rain Fall MOVIE update!
Barry just got back from the Rain Fall movie set in Tokyo. It was amazing to watch Gary Oldman and company taking on the lives of the characters in the book! The movie is now scheduled to release in April 2009. Because Sony Pictures Japan is producing, the Rain Fall trailer will precede the new James Bond Movie, Quantum of Solace, also produced by Sony, when QoS opens in November this year. There's a full update and photos from the set on the discussion board.
And check out the Sony Rain Fall Movie site (if you can speak Japanese!).
