Publisher's summary

Saturday, 0911 hours — A blast rocks a London hospital and thousands are dead or injured.

1009 hours — Joe Ledger arrives on scene to investigate. The horror is unlike anything he has ever seen.

Compelled by grief and rage, Ledger rejoins the Department of Military Sciences, and within hours he's attacked by a hit team of assassins and sent on a suicide mission into a viral hot zone during an Ebola outbreak.

Soon Ledger and the DMS begin tearing down the veils of deception to uncover a vast and powerful secret society using weaponized versions of the Ten Plagues of Egypt to destabilize world economies and profit from the resulting chaos. Millions will die unless Ledger meets this powerful new enemy on its own terms as he fights terror with terror.

Take another thrill ride with Joe Ledger.

it was a good book and the fact that it's part of a series made me finish it, was disappointed with the ending, nit nearly enough for works for a Joe ledger story.

Great fun

This is my third in the series. All 3: complicated plots; good character development; and lovely doses of snark. Mr. Ray Porter does a great job 😁.

love it great series

I really love this series I usually stick to reading zombie novels and the series has a little bit of everything for everyone I started reading a Dead of Night series and that's how I first read about Joe Ledger and mr. Church and after that I had to go back to the beginning and by patient zero and started the whole series really good reads even though they're not all zombies LOL thank you off to buy another book

My favorite so far

Where does The King of Plagues rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the best Joe Ledger book I've read so far in the series. I'm looking forward to moving onto the fourth book.

Maberry does it again!

in the third installment to the Joe Ledger series, Jonathan Maberry breaks out the emotional kiln and lights a flame! This is by far my favorite one so far as characters return, new characters blossom, and Ledger cracks some of the best one-liners of his time! Let's go Cowboy!

Great story, relentless!

Another great one. My 5th book from this author. As good as the story is, Ray Porter's performance brings it all together with his characterizations and flourish. I'd listen to Ray read the phone book and be fascinated by it.

the narrator does a great job reading the characters, and the characters are entertaining. if you like book 1 and 2, you will like book 3!

Joe Ledger ROCKS!

I cannot choose which is my favorite Joe Ledger book, I have tried by listening to them each several times. Jonathan Maberry is one of the most talented writers I have ever had the pleasure of reading. His books are smart, creepy, and will pull you into the world in which his characters dwell. The King of Plagues is the third part of the Joe Ledger trilogy, My advice is start the book when you have plenty of time to listen, because once you start you will not be able to stop.
