Rogue Team International #6

by Jonathan Maberry

In the next novel in the Joe Ledger and Rogue Team International series, things get personal as the team goes up against a group of genetically and biomechanically amplified soldiers to save Joe's kidnapped fiancée.

Joe Ledger and Rogue Team International embark on a desperate mission to rescue kidnapped American aide workers in Ukraine–one of whom is Mr. Church’s adopted son, and the other is Joe Ledger’s fiancée. When the bad guys take anyone that Joe is tasked with protecting, he will find them. But take someone he loves? Take the most important person in Ledger’s world? That’s a card that can’t be un-played. Joe goes after them with all of his skill and every ounce of his combat savagery.

However, the group responsible is a team of Paramilitary Contractors (PMCs) who are the first wave of amplified soldiers with genetic and biomechanical upgrades. These superior soldiers are faster, stronger, and more dangerous than anything Ledger and his team have ever faced. And they have a secret agenda to destroy NATO and other alliances in order to pave the way for a new era of empire building.

As Ledger goes after these PMCs, he discovers that these enhanced soldiers have also been scavenging Broken Arrows–lost nuclear weapons. Joe Ledger and Rogue Team International will have to level up in order to stop these super-soldiers and prevent a new world war! This is a level of action that even Joe hasn’t been to before. But this time the enemy has taken the woman he loves, and he'll stop at nothing to get her back.
