This is book #6 in the Joe Ledger series and a change up from the previous novels.

There's a new villainess, Mother Night, and the book does a good job of describing how she became the way she is. There's a new henchman, Ludo Monk, who is a twisted person in his own right.

Alexander ("Toys") Chismer seems to have turned over a new leaf and is working for the organization that Junie Flynn is leading. Will he stay on this side of the fence?

There's no new biochemical or genetically modified weapons (this time) but it won't make it any easier.

Vice President William Collins is back with his crooked Cybercrimes Task Force doing everything he can to undermine the DMS.

There's a new supercomputer, Haruspex, to compete with Mindreader and Pangaea.

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. Yes, a few new scars, but no mortal wounds.

Oh, and Violin. She's backed off from Joe because of Junie but has her own significant role to play.

It's a good read and I'm looking forward to the next novel because Jonathan Maberry keeps raising the stakes.
