Rage

October 15, 2019
Cop-turned-government-agent Joe Ledger has tackled all manner of maniacal foes on American soil. Now, in a new series?Joe Ledger and Rogue Team International?Joe and his fellow agents expand their territory to cover the world. In this first installment, someone has unleashed a biological weapon that turns ordinary people into rage-filled, virtually unstoppable killers. Like the previous Ledger novels, this one is full of action and close calls, and the fantasy element?the rage-inducing bioweapon?elevates the story from action-adventure to a SF/horror-tinted, compulsively readable thriller. Maberry is a great storyteller; everything he writes, from full-on horror (Dead of Night, 2011, for example) to movie tie-ins (The Wolfman, based on the 2010 film) to horror stories for younger readers (the Rot & Ruin novels), is crafted with a master's hand and guaranteed to deliver the goods. Required reading for Maberry's fans across genres.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
