Part of Joe Ledger, book 6
First published 2014
Joe Ledger thought the world's deadliest biological weapons were safely locked away. The Department of Military Sciences had spent years confiscating designer plagues, weaponized pathogens, and genetically modified viruses from terrorists. These horrors sat secure in an unbreakable facility. Then elite killers breach the impossible security and steal everything. Within days, outbreaks of mass slaughter and murderous insanity spread across the American heartland. Ledger and Echo Team race against a brilliant master criminal who plans to transform America into a wasteland of death. The same zombie plague that first brought Ledger into the DMS now threatens to consume the nation. Ledger must stop the attacks before the Land of the Free becomes the land of the dead.
