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.

Breathtaking. !!!

The Joe Ledger adventures never disappoint! Written skillfully and artfully Jonathan Mayberry Texas on another breathless adventure. The narration by Ray Porter is the cherry on top, I could not imagine the series without the limitless acting skills of Mr. Porter's narration.

Takes you all in

This is perhaps my best Joe Ledger series (I’d say next to the very first). Jonathan Maberry does a good job, and Ray Porter probably does even better. Hardly does a book suck me in, never mind an audio book. Yet, this has its ‘grip’ on me, takes me in, and fully connects with my emotions. You follow the vivid narrations and details description as if you’re there along with the characters. It’s awesome!

Mother of a book!

Loved, loved ... LOVED this book. It's very nicely written and the linking of real world history and religion to the plot is really nicely done. The book flows and the reading is fantastic -- I can't say enough good things. Anyone wanting an entertaining and slightly thought provoking listen should really take a look at this. I highly recommend it! Go Joe!! I love the character and absolutely enjoyed the introduction of Ghost. Well done Jonathan and super reading Ray!

So far the best

Would you consider the audio edition of Assassin's Code to be better than the print version?

I enjoyed the audible show. But your imagination with works you read is powerful.

What other book might you compare Assassin's Code to and why?

This book is as strong as the first one in the series.

What about Ray Porter’s performance did you like?

Creative voice.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Was not expecting the end of some characters or the surprise at the end.

Any additional comments?

Great series.

non-stop action

Always exciting to listen to the non-stop action of the Joe Ledger novels and they are expertly narrated by Ray Porter. It seems like with every Ledger novel I listen through, Maberry 's writing style continues to evolve for the better.
