Forward by Tony Eldridge
Introduction: The World of Joe Ledger by Jonathan Maberry It is kind of brave to give over your characters, your world, to others. I like that the audio book is read by the voice of Joe Ledger, Ray Porter, as it gives a nice continuity.
The Honey Pot by Steve Alten Meh. Not my favorite Ledger tale, but still okay. And it FELT like a Ledger tale.
Confusion by Nicholas Steven A nice addition to the Ledger, Top and Bunny saga. If I was writing a Ledger tale I would want to include Top and Bunny, so happiness with this tale. A continuation of the Deep, Dark story.
Target Acquired by Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon I really like Christopher Golden, and this story from the view of someone other than Ledger solves any issues with it not having Ledger’s “voice”, but I’m not sure it needed the safety net. Felt very Joe to me and it’s a really good story too.
Vacation by Scott Sigler Ok..I had little doubt that I would love this story. Sigler is my FDO after all. A Ledger/Nocturnal crossover? Yes please!! This story did not disappoint.
Banshee by James A. Moore I liked the premise of this one..but it didn’t really get resolved…
Red Dirt by Mira Grant A bit of a departure from the other stories thus far. More artistic than most Joe stories
Black Water by Weston Ochse A look back into Joe’s past. Interesting
Instinct (A Ghost Story) by Bryan Thomas Schmidt and G.P. Charles I wasn’t sure I would like this one…but it grew on me.
No Guns at the Bar by Aaron Rosenberg an entertaining story that barely even features Joe.
Strange Harvest by Jon McGoran this one felt like it needed more time, I really liked where it was going, and then it was over
No Business at All by Javier Grillo-Marxuach an interesting look at what happens when Hollywood gets just enough right
Ganbatte by Keith R.A. DeCandido a very nice look at Lydia’s history and into her character. Liked this one a lot
White Flame on a Sunday by James R. Tuck I hope the followers of the Deacon Chalk series appreciated this as much as I did the Nocturnal cross-over. This may get me to check out some Deacon stories.
Wet Tuesday by David Farland one of the dark sides of self driving cars..told very much in the world of Ledger. Another good one
Prince of Peace by Jeremy Robinson I like the addition of a new thread to the Ledger mythos
Rookie by Joe McKinney what was Joe like before the DMS? This story takes a look and gives some ideas.
Three Times by Jennifer Campbell-Hicks this one had me crying..such a good tribute to Grace
Psych Eval by Larry Correia this one was creepy and ended without resolve…I would be interested to see where this one might go
Crash Course by Dana Fredsti a decent story, but Joe didn’t feel authentic in this one
Atoll by Jonathan Maberry a fine time travel tale
