About this listen

What do you do when the power goes off?

Terrorists have acquired a terrible new weapon that can crash the power grid and plunge America into a new dark age. A coordinated attack is planned to shut out all lights and emergency services to 10 major cities. Planes will fall, hospitals will go dark, no help will come.

And in that terrible darkness, a dreadful plague will be released. If the lights go off, nothing can stop the bioweapon from killing millions.

At the same time, the intelligence services are being torn apart from within by a plague of betrayal, murder, and suicide. Even the Department of Military Sciences is stumbling in its response to the growing threat.

Time is running out, and Joe is being hunted by a terrifying new kind of assassin. A team of remote viewers have the ability to take over any person and turn ordinary citizens into killers. Where can you turn when there's nobody left to trust?

Joe Ledger faces his deadliest challenge as friends and allies become enemies and all of the lights begin to go out...

Just love the Joe Ledger books. Such great stories and the narration is exquisite. Another few hours spent in bliss - I look forward to getting back in the car for the commute so I can listen to the next chapter.

Some authors are good and maintain a fairly constant level of quality, others fade; some have great ideas but their execution are a disappointment. Maberry keeps getting better and better. In a market where churning out mediocre novels is rather prevalent, Maberry has taken the time to hone his craft; he clearly loves what he does.

I think of Maberry as a much more intelligent version of other authors in this space. His Joe Ledger books take paranormal fantasy and couch them in an intelligently constructed scientific framework. Okay vampires don't exist, but if they did how could they come about? This particular book is not about vampires but you get the point. He delivers this in an action packed dramatic and deft way with surprises that will thrill and grip you. He is clearly a master of his craft and I look forward to more from this writer that is clearly a cut above most of his contemporaries.

So far I have read Maberry's:

Kill Switch
Predator One
Extinction Machine
Assassins Code

They are all great books and I gave them the same rating as this one, however I felt Predator One had too much of the 9/11 conspiracy about it I still enjoyed the book as much as all the others and I agreed with most of the political/philosophical points he was making but it had a bit too much of secret government action against the interest of the populace for my taste. The fact that I was still able to enjoy the book is a testament to the skill of the author.

I also read his books backwards Kill Switch being my first. Something else I like about Maberry is that he is able to write continuations giving just the right amount of previous events away teasing them enough for you to be temped without spoiling them. The order in which I read the books did not degrade the enjoyment even adding an extra little frisson of tension, excitement and expectation to the experience.

Ray Porters performance of the Joe Ledger stories is quite frankly utterly brilliant. It is the job of the narrator to present the most accurate reflection of the authors intent for the characters and Ray Porter plays this role perfectly.

All that remains for me to say, is just hit the buy button! Mash it!

Awesome fun

Would be weird to hear anyone else. Yes good entry into the series this, the most 'out there' plot to date, but very enjoyable. I'm sadly completely up to date so bring on the next please

Loved it, hard to write too much without spoilers, so suffice to say it's just a must read for fans of the series!

Best Joe Ledger yet...

Seriously, how does he maintain a series like this. I did not read the book details. I like a surprise. The direction and story line that the story takes is chilling. Ray Porter is Joe Ledger....amazing narrator.
To be fair if you have listened to all the previous books you will not feel cheated out of a credit. Made lock down a bit more tolerable for me.
Thank you Mr Maberry and Mr Porter.

Hours of listening with nothing happening. Very little action and the whole idea was far fetched even for this series. Hopefully the next book will be better.

Boring worst in the series.
