Part of Joe Ledger, book 9
First published 2017
Joe Ledger faces his deadliest mission yet when freelance terrorists deploy the latest generation of robot dogs as weapons of mass destruction. These autonomous machines move fast and strike without mercy, targeting cities across America. The technology behind them represents a new kind of warfare that turns sophisticated military systems against their human creators. Ledger works with a rebuilt Department of Military Sciences to track down the techno-terrorists before they can unleash global catastrophe. The enemy proves relentless, using microscopic nanobots and massive self-guided aircraft alongside their mechanical hounds. Time runs short as Ledger discovers how easily anyone can access this dangerous technology. The race to stop a technological apocalypse pushes Ledger and his team to their limits against an army that never tires, never hesitates, and never stops hunting.
