Publisher's summary

When Joe Ledger and Echo Team rescue a group of American college kids held hostage in Iran, the Iranian government then asks them to help find six nuclear bombs planted in the Mideast oil fields. These stolen WMDs will lead Joe and Echo Team into hidden vaults of forbidden knowledge, mass-murder, betrayal, and a brotherhood of genetically-engineered killers with a thirst for blood.

Accompanied by the beautiful assassin called Violin, Joe follows a series of clues to find the Book of Shadows, which contains a horrifying truth that threatens to shatter his entire worldview. They say the truth will set you free… Not this time. The secrets of the Assassin’s Code will set the world ablaze.

Critic reviews

"Maberry delivers plenty of action." ( Publishers Weekly)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I think this is my favorite Joe Ledger thus far.

Hit on emotional side but still gritty as always. I absolutely cannot stop going back to these reads. Thank you Jonathan Mayberry. I don't think I could've made it through all my health issues without listening over and over to this series. Kudos to Ray Porter, you're voice makes it that much better.

They keep getting better

Possibly my favorite Joe Ledger book yet. For someone is such an insane line of work, I'm surprised he hasn't snapped from the stress, but the author makes his mental anguish and coping mechanisms part of the story, keeping Ledger human. It's perfectly executed.

Favorite Narrator!!

Absolutely my favorite narrator of all time. His
Pacing and timing is spot on, and his voices and accents are seamless and consistent. I can tell who is speaking with out narrative tags.
The story, as always, was a great ride.
