Maberry's series protagonist, ex-Baltimore cop Joe Ledger, is now a senior field agent for the Department of Military Sciences, a shadowy government agency that fights terrorists who threaten America with cutting-edge technology, along with a range of monsters, zombies, robots, and aliens. With this volume, Maberry and Schmidt recruited some of the best writers in speculative fiction to spin 20 tales that revolve around Ledger and his team. A revenge-bent woman confronts Ledger in "Target Acquired" by Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon. In "Vacation," an excerpt from Scott Sigler's novel Nocturnal, San Francisco cops Pookie Chang and Bryan Clauser give carte blanche to Ledger during a murder investigation.
VERDICT Ledger fans will find plenty to enjoy in this anthology as their enigmatic hero goes from playing a central role to becoming a side character to finding himself in intriguing meet-ups with the contributors' own series protagonists.
