Barry spent 3 years in a covert position with the CIA’s Directorate of Covert Operation, then
worked as a technology lawyer and startup executive in Silicon Valley and Japan, earning his black belt at
the Kodokan Judo Institute along the way.

He is a New York Times best selling author who has written over 25 books, including the series that
introduced me to his writing, The John Rain Series.

He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and when he’s not writing novels, he blogs about
National Security and the Media.

Please welcome my guest today, Mr. Barry Eisler.
