Part of Joe Ledger, book 5.5
First published 2014
Joe Ledger commands Echo Team, an elite military unit that confronts the deadliest threats on Earth. His background as both police officer and Army Ranger prepared him for conventional warfare, but nothing could ready him for what he faces now. When terrorists deploy designer bioweapons and experimental genetic modifications instead of bombs and bullets, standard military protocols fail. Echo Team gets called when mad scientists turn laboratories into weapons factories. These enemies engineer viruses that rewrite human DNA and create monsters from cutting edge research. Ledger and his shooters must adapt quickly to survive encounters with threats that defy natural law. Each mission pushes them deeper into a shadow world where science becomes horror. The Department of Military Sciences provides backup, but when Joe Ledger gets the call, civilization already teeters on the brink. This collection gathers multiple short stories from his case files, including two never before published adventures that reveal new depths of the conspiracy he fights.
