This series is one where you should read/listen to the main book that follows BEFORE listening to these middle ones. They reveal some information that I think could spoiler the following one.

I'm a huge fan of this series, but he book that follows this with Grace dead and vengeance being the only thing Joe cares about got to be repetitive. It make sense it's what drives this book too, but was still annoying to me.

Loved that we got to see how Ghost entered the series!

A short little tale of how Joe ended up with Ghost, who I am hoping has a long life as Joe’s partner.

Audiobook only. Great follow up to Dragon Factory. Short. Focused. Proof that Ledger can be a little too cocky. That'll get you killed if you aren't careful.

All of the Joe Ledger books are an odd but compelling mashup of military thriller and science fiction horror. Maberry writes a lot of detail, a lot of emotion, and a lot of action.

Another fun short from Maberry. The introduction of Ghost, the amazing war dog, is a great step in the development of this series (although I'm sorry that Cobbler the cat no longer appears). Also, it makes a lot of sense for Maberry to settle the problem of revenge for Grace's death in an interlude, rather than having to bring baggage from the last novel into the next. As always, revenge is sweet and bloody and morally complicated for Ledger, which makes this more than just an exciting action story. There's depth if you want it, but it's not going to beat you over the head.

Ha. I like this origin of Ghost, though Joe didn't catch on as soon as I'd have liked. I wanted to yell at him for being a dumbass. :)


Also read Joe Ledger 2.2 - Changeling - 2 stars. But since it's only listed in an anthology (I listened to it alone as an audiobook) I can't mark it as read... Gonna add it later.
