Critic reviews

<p>“Breakneck pacing, nonstop action, and a subtle sense of humor, this is an utterly readable blend of adventure fiction, suspense thriller, and horror.” —<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>“A fast-paced, brilliantly written novel. The hottest thriller of the New Year! In <i>The King of Plagues</i>, Jonathan Maberry reigns supreme.” —<i>Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Athena Project</i><br><br>“Joe Ledger and the DMS are back in their most brutal tale yet as they face off against a diabolical organization who is always one step ahead. As the sinister plot is exposed and the body count rises, THE KING OF PLAGUES is impossible to put down. Be prepared to lose some sleep.” —<i>Jeremy Robinson, author of THRESHOLD and INSTINCT</i><br><br>“While most are content to sleepwalk through the third book in a successful series, Jonathan Maberry wages all-out destructive war on complacency. "The King of Plagues" expands the Joe Ledger universe, deepens existing characters while introducing bold new ones, and unleashes a runaway brain of a thriller plot turbocharged with a depraved spirit of invention. Next to Joe Ledger, Jack Bauer, Fox Mulder and Jason Bourne are rank amateurs.” —Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Emmy Award winning writer/producer, "Lost," "Medium," "The Middleman.</p>

Jonathan Mayberry is that guy

This Joe ledger series is chefs kiss. It just gets better and better as the series goes on

Emotional & descriptive drama

Pretty much believe that just like other writers. , Maberry has been snubbed for the subject or genrè. Ledger's job really gets complex in this story after the last book, I'd hoped Joe would catch a break! No chance but he's on Our side & that's sweet. His smart arsed self still exists in his character. We also get a few new incredible Fems on the team under Mr.Church. Be ready for the emotional roller-coaster coming. Lots more than just bad humans being punished here as our author keeps doing what he does. Terrific storytelling.

a fast pace triller

Joe Ledger does it again! A well written thriller. cant wait to see what Ledger does next.

I love the series.

This is my favorite book series of all times. Beautifully written, well read and impossible to put down, I love this series.
