Part of Joe Ledger, book 3
First published 2011
A massive explosion tears through a London hospital at 09:11 on Saturday morning. Thousands lie dead or wounded. Joe Ledger arrives an hour later to investigate and discovers carnage beyond anything in his experience. Driven by fury and sorrow, he rejoins the Department of Military Sciences. Within hours, assassins target him for elimination. His superiors then dispatch him on what appears to be a death mission into an Ebola-ravaged zone. As Ledger and the DMS dig deeper, they uncover a hidden network of immense power. This secret society deploys biological weapons based on the Ten Plagues of Egypt. Their goal is economic collapse followed by massive profit from the resulting disorder. Millions face death unless Ledger can match their ruthlessness. He must become as terrifying as his enemies to stop them.
