Joe Ledger

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 cookies? Who the heck -is- Mr. Church, anyway? Should we trust him? Scorpion dogs are creepy. The dragon factory is creepy, though the dragons seemed pretty cool. Maybe they should clone Joe and he could take care of all of the Nazis, as well as all of the other evil geniuses out to wreck the free world. PS- The plot of this sf thriller -is- faster than a speeding bullet, right up to the last page, where the ending left me anxious to find out what comes next... as soon as I caught my br... moreeath.
review 2: I enjoyed the 2nd installment of the Joe Ledger series, liked the fast pace, twists and variety of plots and subplots, as well as their resolutions. The only thing I found a little overdone was the overall too frequent use of rape and purposeless debase violence scattered in-between parts of the storyline. I guess Joe shouldn’t remember and reiterate the gruesome fate of his former girlfriend so often and in quite as much detail, especially when further in his internal monolog he tells himself: "I had killed people today and I wanted to find more people today to kill" while as far as I remember (without rereading the book) the softie didn´t kill anyone to that point of the story. Beside the point, I did relish the combat action written as fast paced and thrilling as in the first book of the series very much and I am looking forward to the following books of this series as well as other writings of Mr. Maberry. less
