I absolutely love the Joe Ledger books. There is something to be said for a series that delivers so much in one book. We got politics, religion, the supernatural, espionage, and just a dash of romance to spice things up. It makes for such an explosive mix and a wild ride! Joel's facing off against some real crazies in this one and as much of a super hero that he is I'm glad there's been some discussion about how insane this field of work makes him. Pushing him to the point of no return seems to be Jonathan Maberry's hobby in this series. I can't wait to sink my teeth into the next installment (pun intended)!
Hooah! When the fourth installment is the best of the series you know that you have come across another writer who has the ability to maintain what works and add the ingredients that can take it up another notch! Assasins code just works. The plot gets quite confusing at times but this is simplified by the different POV's being presented. The action is racheted up another level and new interesting characters keep sprouting. In the end it looks like the end of a sub plot and the next book is hopefully heading into new territories. Lets see where Jonathan takes us with it! Highly Recommended!
