![]() Yes, a few new scars, but no mortal wounds. Joe’s Echo team, Top, Bunny, Lydia, Ivan, and Sam are back together with some new members and every time they engage a new baddie, you just hope that they all come through okay. ![]() There’s a new supercomputer, Haruspex, to compete with Mindreader and Pangaea. Vice President William Collins is back with his crooked Cybercrimes Task Force doing everything he can to undermine the DMS. There’s no new biochemical or genetically modified weapons (this time) but it won’t make it any easier. There’s a new henchman, Ludo Monk, who is a twisted person in his own right.Īlexander (“Toys”) Chismer seems to have turned over a new leaf and is working for the organization that Junie Flynn is leading. There’s a new villainess, Mother Night, and the book does a good job of describing how she became the way she is. This is book #6 in the Joe Ledger series and a change up from the previous novels. Review #2 Code Zero audiobook in series Joe Ledger Still, Code Zero is full of over-the-top action with scary, genetically-altered monsters in it. I would also like to have gotten a little more character development from another antagonist as he was a little to cookie-cutter and shallow. This is somewhat anticlimactic for the reader. As readers, we soon learn who she is, although the rest of the DMS crew don’t figure it out until much later. In Code Zero, we see a terrorist named Mother Night and her minions creating chaos all over the US. (If you’ve not read Reilly, give him a try his books are VERY fast-paced and a lot of fun!) While reading Code Zero, I kept getting the feeling I was reading Matthew Reilly. But I say this to encourage others that if you’ve not read those other books (which I’ll now go back and do, frustratingly after the fact), you might want to. Unfortunately, there have been many Joe Ledger novels in between and a good bit of Code Zero references what must be missions from those previous books. I’d not read anything by Maberry since Patient Zero and when I saw that Code Zero was a “sequel,” I jumped at the book. ![]() Code Zero wasn’t as good as Patient Zero, but it’s pretty close.
