Publisher's summary

Robots are no longer science fiction. Autonomous, programmed to react like animals: fast, relentless, deadly. From microscopic nanobots to massive self-guided aircraft. This technology is here, it's assessable, and it's dangerous. What's even scarier is that almost anyone can get their hands on it.

A freelance terrorist uses the latest generation of robot dogs to deliver WMDs into cities across America. Sophisticated military weapons systems turn on their human masters. A technological apocalypse is coming, and we may be too late to stop it.

Joe Ledger and a newly rebuilt Department of Military Sciences square off against this new and terrible threat. Dogs of War pits Joe against a merciless new enemy and an army of techno-terrorists in a race to prevent a global destruction.

Let loose the Dogs of War.

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.

the only books that illicit an emotional response

I love audible books but this series by far my favorite in the many books I've bought. I have some of the physical copies that I re purchased on here just to listen to Ray Porter's excellent reading of them. they are the only books that have caused me to hold my breath waiting to see what happens next. Jonathan Maberry does an excellent job keeping you so engrossed with such flexible yet solid writing and tempo that Nicodemus would find it unnerving. keep up the excellent work Mr. Maberry. you could in all actuality be the Bram Stoker of the modern age....

Who let the dogs out?

I skipped meals, drove the long way home and did what ever I could to hear this book and to finish it. I was so caught up in the story, in the action. It is like a drug, and I want more! More SMS, more How, more Bug, and who or what is Mr. Church....I am ready for more!

Vintage Joe Ledger

I've listened to all the Joe Ledger novels and novellas and am amazed at how each one seems to reach a new high in storytelling and Dogs of War is no exception. Great story brilliantly narrated by Ray Porter. Bravo!

I am sad I listened to it too fast

I love this series. For me it is in my top 5 and it should be in yours as well. These books are read so well that you truly feel for these characters. I don't think anyone else could have read this book in the way it deserves.

Throughly enjoyed it

Not the best book to start the series with. So read the others and then read this book. It was exciting and passionate and well written. Kept me in the car in front of my house several times.

Awesome but a little sad too

The ending was a little sad and I'm kinda funked out because I'm close to the end of the Joe Ledger series😭
