Rogue Team International joins Joe Ledger in a new, tension-filled mission to stop a wave of bioterrorism from devastating the country in the fourth installment of bestselling author Jonathan Maberry's ongoing series.

A covert group is infiltrating the world’s most secure bio-weapons research sites. All across the country, people are acting as human ‘disease bombs’ by infecting themselves and walking into public places. And heavily armed groups of illegal private soldiers are massing for some unknown strike.

Joe Ledger and the members of Rogue Team International, still reeling from the devastation and heartbreaking losses of their last mission, are forced into relentless action to try and save the country, if not the entire world.

Old enemies are rising and joining forces to hit Joe and his team with one devastating blow after another. What is the end game for all of this madness and terror? Outnumbered, outmaneuvered, and outgunned, Joe Ledger has to find a way back from the fires of grief in order to make a stand between these enemies and millions of potential innocent lives. But Joe has allies, too. His team, the vicious fighters of Arklight, and friends who may or may not be entirely human.

A war of darkness and light is coming. Who will stand? Who will fall? And how will anyone ever survive?

Could not have been better!

Been a Joe Ledger, Mayberry and Porter fan for years. I’ve not missed a single book that has referenced Joe in every way possible. I wait like Pavlov’s dogs for each release. This did not disappoint and maybe just maybe be better than Patient Zero (which grabbed me hook, line and sinker from the first sentence) I am in awe of the masterful writing, the gut wrenching horror and the incredible gift that is Ledger, Mayberry and Porter. Yes, Joe is as real as the people who brought him to life. In fact, everyone is. I am as invested in them all as the first day I met them. Yup you could listen to it stand alone but why? Just sit back and enjoy the whole ride.

Havoc Team in Pine Deep? Yes!

I love Ledger & Crow in their separate stories. Put those two together and it is great! I listen to both of their series often which served me well with this book. As always, an awesome story by Jonathan Mayberry & perfect narration by Ray Porter! I’m ready for the next one!

Best Joe Ledger Book Yet

I loved all of the previous loose ends being tied up. Cannot wait for the next book. Hope it’s soon. Ray Porter is the GOAT!!

Damn!!

Great on so many levels. The blend of story lines was fantastic. I almost expected Kagen to pop out and join in the blade works. The blend of humanity and supernatural was spot on. Great, great, great.

Edge of My Seat

I've been anticipating this one ever since Cave 13 and it doesn't disappoint. Ray Porter once more gives personality to the characters. The story is as pulse pounding as all of the previous Joe Ledger novels. I'm looking forward to figuring out what sort of history Church and Nicodemus had in the past.

Gripping story

More please! Always look forward to a new book in the Joe Ledger universe, this was a great addition that just leaves you wanting another.

Engaging story and characters

I was unable to listen cover to cover without interruption so story was at times difficult to follow interlude to next especially with fluctuating timeline.

Joe and the monsters!

It’s always fun when Havoc Team goes up against monsters! Fun read! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Another Superb RTI Adventure!

Jonathan Maberry has easily become my favorite author. His attention to scientific accuracy, realistic action scenes, and character development are among the very best I have ever seen. If there were any author who I wished could be cloned or uploaded, it is him, if only so we could get even more books per year! This is a fantastic story with some very real-world scary elements of what is going on around the world today intertwined. Masterful storytelling. I want to give a shout out to all of the staff at his publisher and audiobook team that always do a fantastic job. Ray Porter is absolutely one of the best narrators out there. When listening to him voice different characters, it is easy to keep them apart due to his superb voice mimicry and remembrance of the characteristics of each character's voice. If you have not read any Joe Ledger novels, try any of them for a real treat!

does not disappoint

I have listened or read all of the books in the Joe Ledger series. This new installment is as exciting and well written as the first. I love how the Pine Deep trilogy is woven in. How some of the characters are apart of the Joe Ledger universe.
