Learn moreEx–Baltimore cop turned Special Ops shooter Joe Ledger is back in action.
In The Dragon Factory, Ledger and his team from the Department of Military Sciences square off against two separate groups of corrupt scientists. The beautiful but twisted Jakoby Twins are creating transgenic monsters and genetically enhanced mercenaries for sale to the highest bidder. Their father, who takes evil to an entirely new level, is using cutting-edge science to complete the Nazi master race program.
Joe must elude the NSA who are gunning for him, fight his way past rogue Spetsnaz teams, and stop these madmen before the Extinction Clock runs out. And when the bloodbath claims one of his own, Joe Ledger declares total war on those who would burn down the world in order to reshape it in their own dark image.

Reviews
“In Stoker-winner Maberry’s wild second Joe Ledger novel, Joe and his comrades from the Department of Military Sciences take on enough villains and their world-threatening plots to fill half a dozen ordinary thrillers.”
“Expect this straight-ahead thriller to hook action-crazed readers and inspire them to both seek out the first Ledger book and eagerly anticipate the next installment.”
“Ray Porter finds unique voices for all the crazy characters involved in this action-packed thriller…Porter’s effective pacing embroils the listener…Porter’s voice for Mr. Church is striking, and his perfect tonal qualities for Joe give a sense of humor to a basically damaged person. Listeners will find themselves entranced by Porter’s terrific narration.”
“Everything a good techno thriller should be—clever, imaginative, and above all thrilling.”
