Part of Joe Ledger, book 2
First published 2010
Joe Ledger thought he had seen the worst of bioterrorism until two rival genetics labs declared war on his Department of Military Sciences. The first group engineers transgenic creatures and builds armies of genetically modified soldiers. The second faction uses modern science to resurrect Josef Mengele's Master Race experiments from World War II. Both organizations want the DMS eliminated, and they have already struck the first blow. Ledger assembles Echo Team for a mission that will push them beyond standard military protocols. Fighting under a black flag means no rules, no mercy, and no backup from official channels. As the three-way conflict escalates, Ledger discovers that stopping one enemy might mean allowing the other to succeed. The stakes go far beyond his team's survival when he realizes both groups possess the technology to reshape humanity itself.
