The trouble was the heavy handedness and some love interest concerns (potential love interest concerns for the main character). It isn't that the plotline was bad, it wasn't in fsct it was really quite good. This was my least favorite of the Joe Ledger series by Maberry. This is just me being a cry baby fan boy who is potentially over critical. I can't wait to see where the story goes next. The series has covered zombies, bio engineered super soldiers, vampires and alien technology.

The author skillfully weaves them together. It was an enjoyable rabbit hole to go down to see what had a basis in reality (microwave guns are real) and what is purely from Maberry's imagination. I kept pausing the story to google conspiracy theories various bits of technology as it progressed. Maberry must have had fun doing research for this book. Junie Flynn is another great addition and I hope we see her again in the future. I'm not really sure how much of a beating a human can take before it affects their mental state and Joe's not 100% stable. Joe and Ghost are their bad ass selves though I'm starting to wish they'd get a break. We get a peek into Church and his 'friends in the industry' that manages to both give some new information and keeps his mystique going. Aliens are real.or are they? The DMS is in for a hard time as they work to unravel what's going on. If the X-Files had an episode featuring Joe Ledger the result would be this book. The only piece of evidence left behind is a crop circle on the White House lawn. Show More United States has been abducted from the White House and not a single Secret Service agent saw anything. As usual, Ledger and whatâ€™s left of his Echo Team have to dust themselves off and get ready for the next villain. Ledger makes Jack Bauer look like Little Bo Beep. As with previous books in the series, Maberry puts Ledger in continuous peril.

Collinâ€™s wants Churchâ€™s organization dismantled and Joe arrested. To add to Churchâ€™s problem, Vice President Collins has assumed the presidency with the disappearance of the President. He has been hacking into Churchâ€™s Mind Reader computer. EXTINCTION MACHINE pits Mister Church against Howard Shelton, a guy with ultra-deep pockets. Junie is an expert on UFOs and claims to know the location of the Black Book which has information on the UFOs.

It starts with the President being kidnapped and escalates to a demonstration of the latest in aircraftâ€¦a race to duplicate an alien craft by countries and/or agencies who have been picking up pieces from all of the crash sites over the years. Show More particular crashes existed since I was too engrossed to interrupt my reading.
