![]() of course, the action scenes are full-throttle, and there are only a few others who can pen them as well as maberry. part of the excitement of the story is watching the dms pull the layers of the onion back, trying to discover the identity of their enemy. ![]() for most of the story, the dms are scratching their heads at who could be doing these things. maberry does a good job building the backstory of the enemy so that he/she/it is truly a formidable adversary. just when you've thought that the dms has fought the cleverest of enemies, maberry introduces a new enemy, who is perhaps the most insidious and devious the dms has ever faced. joe ledger's enemies are over the top, and when i start a new ledger book, i always look forward to what kind of enemy jonathan maberry will throw against the dms. i have enjoyed this series b/c it's like a modern day, 21st century james bond, but only meaner, grittier, bloodier, and a lot more scarier. Throughout this series, joe ledger has fought just about every kind of worst nightmare imaginable and has managed to come out the other side. There ya go - let the tomato-chucking-*no*-help-button-pressing begin! This story leaned heavily on fist time and the guys running, a little too witlessly, into another trap to fight their way out of - no complaints.It's just, if the story is going to rely on fight scenes for half the pages, can't Maberry at least churn out the stories faster? Now that I've probably alienated my peer group of rabid Maberry/Porter fans, a helpful recommendation: Code Zero can stand on its own, but really needs (at least) Dragon Factory as a prelude. Here goes: needed MORE Ghost, more Bunny, more monsters, more story, more nifty weapons. So, I'm going to voice my opinion here safely among my fellow devotees and ask you all to take a step back, stand down (cut me some love). ![]() If you've read my reviews on Maberry's Ledger, you know he is my guilty pleasure, and I even offered to take up a collection so team Jon-Ray could devote all of their time to collaborating. Yeah, yeah, good stuff, fun listen, wild ride.you can't go wrong with the most fun series you can get your teeth into.
