    Welcome back, Joe!
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2017*

After the harrowing events of "Kill Switch," the Department of Military Sciences, Echo Team, and Joe Ledger were all in a bad place. At the start of this novel, they're dealing with the aftermath of that case on multiple levels.That having been said, without giving details away, this book reconstructs Joe, Echo Team, and the DMS and sets them up for the future both on an in-universe and meta level. After the Lovecraftian weirdness of the previous book (which some readers felt deviated too far from the "reasonably hard science fiction" formula of previous books into something too far divorced into the realm of the quasi-supernatural), this novel does a good job of helping the series find its feet again and setting up how it could deal with strangeness in the future. Lots of good, well-rooted science, return retroactive appearances by some of the major underlying nasties of previous books (without overly relying on them; another complaint of previous novels like "Predator One"), and finally some semblance of movement toward understanding how one particular recurring villain may operate.Ultimately at its core, it's a story about characters finding their strength and balance to stand and be heroes again. And if you're a loyalist of the series, the ending will make you smile and look forward to the future.

    Good Doggie, Bad Doggie
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2018*

This is the 9th book in the Joe Ledger series.  I don't know how much damage Joe, Top, and Bunny (and even Lydia Rose gets into the action) can absorb: GSWs, cuts by knife, and just the trauma of being in a fight against genuinely evil opponents.  A new member of the team, Tracy Cole, is added.  I rated this book 4 stars only because of sympathy for the suffering of the main characters (if that makes any sense at all).The title refers to the mechanical dogomorphic robots developed by companies like Boston Dynamics even though they were only near the beginning and end of the book.  I'm sure that the author did his research but it seems curious that robots developed by the military would have electrical cable bundles running between the head and torso that are so vulnerable.  However, without those, how would any human survive and up close encounter with one of these (even though they didn't attack with "tooth and claw" but were mobile machine gun platforms).This was the first Jonathan Maberry novel in which I found a wrong word (which I reported to Amazon).  Typically his novels are superbly edited.Because of the emotional trauma to the reader, I'm going to wait a bit before I read the 10th book in the series.

    Ledger Faces Techno-Terrorists

"Dogs Of War" is Jonathan Maberry's latest installment of the Joe Ledger series.  If you have read any of the series, you either love the characters and over-the-top action or you hate it.  If you have never read any of the series, I encourage you to try it if you enjoy high action suspense with a heavy dose of the supernatural--all combined with some of the most vile, well conceived villains possible.All the elements of the Ledger series are here in "Dogs of War" – a self doubting Ledger, an evil mastermind with a cock-a-mamie plan to destroy much of the world, advanced robotic dogs, drones and nano technology primed to deliver plagues into the modern world. It will take everything Ledger and his team, the Department of Military Sciences, and the enigmatic Mr. Church  have to combat this new threat posed by figures from the past.Once again Joe's warrior spirit combined with his natural instincts and refusal to lose help him lead his team in a battle for the future of the world.  As usual, Maberry takes the evil scheme right to the edge of success before Ledger and the forces of good can begin to to make headway--and of course, the irrepressible "Ghost" is very much in the action for you dog lovers.My only quibbles are minor yet reoccurring as the series continues to grow.  The plot lines for the series are becoming somewhat redundant and the villains never seem to be totally destroyed--as I have lamented previously.  Each new Ledger novel seemingly has a villain from the past or a villain's prodigy or a villain's child returning to continue the nefarious work for which they were groomed.  Comic book writers learned long ago that a good villain was too valuable to eliminate and it seems Maberry also subscribes to this idea.  However, I have read each of the Joe Ledger adventures so far and I will continue as, hopefully, Maberry branches into new waters with his superb cast of characters.
