review 1: Joe Ledger and Echo Team along with the rest of DMS get involved in another of Hugo Vox's schemes. This one is a crazy chaotic scheme with secret religious societies, creatures out of myth and folklore, nuclear weapons and possible end of the world (again). Joe seems to be gett...

review 1: I was not sure of this from recommendations. But this mad science thriller promptly gripped me and I read it in a plunge. Some of the most really scary bad guys and threats anywhere, embedded in examination of how the shocks of the last 13 years have affected our national psyche....

review 1: The book review says "hair-raisingly scary"; hmm...not so much. It seemed a little long in the telling to me at times. I like Maberry to death, but I don't think this was one of his better titles. Imura's name was mentioned several times which brought other Maberry titles to mind...

review 1: Avril Lavigne did not learn to speak french until 2013. Not all Canadians speak french, even when born to a french Canadian parent. My husband was born to a German father and does not speak german. Putting that superfluous and WRONG detail about a celebrity (and the constant list...

review 1: I love Maberry's work and this book has all the high marks you expect. fast paced…thrilling. It also has a number of the his foibles….Deus ex Machina, crying heroes (a lot), to be continued ending, and tortured character histories. The thing I can't forgive is the talking, thinki...

review 1: This is the first book I encountered by Jonathan Maberry. After this I was hooked on his works. Originally I was going to use this book for a research paper in speech for the spring semester of school, then something happened. I realized what Jonathan Maberry has done with this b...

review 1: When this book opens, Chong, Lilah, Nix and Benny are still in search of the jet and they are grieving the loss of Tom. So is the reader. But, we are given scarcely a chance to draw a breath, before the action kicks off and we find Benny trapped in a ravine, surrounded by zombies...

review 1: ROT AND RUIN!!!. I loved this book on so many level. One because it reminded me of my favorite she the Walking dead which is also about zombies. Basically its about two brothers that learn in the end that they do have love for each other when they thought at the beginning each ot...

review 1: I just couldn't finish this book. I gave it a good effort because I wanted to like it. It was far too 'Oooh-ra-look-at-me-I'm-a-tough-cop/martial-arts-badass-who's-going-to-save-the-world-single-handedly' for me. I'm not the demographic this book was intended for and there was a...

review 1: DUST AND DECAY is a fantastic follow up novel to ROT AND RUIN. The novel has all the good things the first one did and more. I enjoyed the entire ride and was never let down during the entire story. This series is wonderful for adults and young adults alike. I recommend it to my ...

review 1: Joe Ledger isn't faster than a speeding bullet, but he's cooler than James Bond, tougher than Chuck Norris, and has wittier badinage than John Steed. Nazis aren't cool; never were, never will be. Being Joe's girlfriend is a hazardous position. What is it with Mr. Church and those...

review 1: So this is a mini-novella set between the second and third book of the Benny Imura Zombie series by Jonathan Maberry.I still found myself struggling like I did with the second book with the "manga-esque" feeling I keep getting from the series. It was assuaged a little this time b...

review 1: It's been awhile since I've read this author's work and I missed it. I delayed reading Benny Imura books because I always felt I've been left hanging. It's good to read about where it all began and how different the young and old think. We see glimpses of the just-turned-15 Benny...

review 1: A light and fluffy read. Yes, I use fluffy to describe a Punisher comic. And jet it is, like most one shots, this one delivers enough explanations to make up a believable story without playing for time or being to informative. The right amount of depth and fluffiness, if you will...

review 1: I bought this book not expecting much, except maybe a rip off of World War Z. I got a whole lot more than I planned. I seriously could not put it down! Some people might have a little difficulty following the storylines as the chapters jump from one story to another, but I don't ...

review 1: as a Joe Ledger fan, I enjoyed reading this book.The book did a good job filling in some gaps between books. Some of the short stories I thought were interesting but nothing to merit, more "Fluff" then anything. Others stories had me wide-eyed, wanting more.If you've read the ent...

review 1: Normally I'm not a huge fan of movie novelizations, but when I heard that the awesome Jonathan Maberry did the novelization for this movie, I was intrigued. I love the original Wolfman movie with Lon Chaney Jr, but had mixed feelings about the remake. After reading Maberry's vers...

review 1: Aside from the origin/mechanism of the creation of zombies, the horror it puts the victims through... I really didn't like it all that much. It seemed to be your standard zombie horror show. I was quite disappointed as I had come to expect more from Maberry. I'll read the next...

review 1: As with most of Maberry's work, I enjoyed it. It is different from the Joe Ledger Series as it isn't a bad ass race to save the world. I find it slightly reminiscent of Rot & Ruin, but with a little Ghost Road Blues feel. The characters are relatable and react to the unthinkable ...

review 1: Rot and Ruin was something I picked up due to a love for all things zombie. It was not quiet what I expected at the start. Benny lives in an almost "post, post apocalypse" he lives with his older brother Tom who is a zombie hunter. As Benny struggles to find a job or lose part of...

review 1: This might have done better as a graphic novel or comic book. As a novel it was a massive fail for me. There was nothing likeable about Joe Ledger, the bad guys were about as stereotyped as you can get, and the plot would've made a great Saturday morning cartoon. There is so much...

review 1: Wow! If I had one word to write a review that would be it! After just finishing a YA that was just so so if you are maybe 15 or 16, I want to emphasize that this is a completely satisfying book for any adult. I also realize that this book is about human nature not just Zombies. I...

review 1: I really enjoyed Fire and Ash, the fourth book of the Rot and Ruin series. It is not only about zombies, which I found to be awesome, but it was also about teenagers and their struggle in this world of the living dead. I thought it was cool because I could relate to the way the t...

review 1: The best way to describe what I just finished: a series of short stories in genres I may not have read as standalones but which combined into a highly enjoyable book. Not perfectly true as they all tended to have a bit of science fiction and a bit of detective fiction. But I do n...

review 1: Well I loooved this book. So many things--the fact at a bargain price of $9 it seemed cheaper than most paperbacks are now; it's a substantial book but not too huge; the vampires were varied and each type well done--89 kinds of vampires & monsters? hell yes!--and the concept behi...

review 1: This is the second book in the "Marvel Universe Vs." series. The first is Marvel Universe vs. The Punisher. Basically, this story takes threads from the first book and expands on them. What you get is a less dark, more fun, tale than the first book. Deadpool once again proves to ...
