The second novel in the Joe Ledger series by Jonathan Maberry FINALLY came out on audio and I leaped at it the very day it showed up on Audible.com. I'm sorry to report I was checking in DAILY to see if it was there (yes, I choose to waste my time this way) -- that's how big a fan I was of the first book, Patient Zero. And I have not been disappointed!
This one is not zombies (at least not yet) but it is Joe and Grace and Rudy and Mr. Church, and the rest of the team, all back saving the world, one set of strange horrors at a time. I really cannot stress how nice it is to have a set of characters that you can "like" and actually have feelings for. The author has made sure that you care about his cast of characters.
The zombies are not missed at all. There's truly evil bad guys (and gals), mad scientists, Nazis with a Mengele connection, genetically mixed creatures, clones, and I'm not even sure what else I'll find as I go along. I just know, I can't wait to drive home tonight and hear some more! And isn't that the best of what you hope for in a book? Yeah -- me too!
