First sentence…
“You’re going to want to take that call,” I said.
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Joe Ledger is an ex-Army Ranger and ex-Baltimore police detective. Ledger was recruited into the United States’ several-levels-above-top-secret Department of Military Sciences. This organization dealt with threats to the US,. Most of their missions involved stopping terrorists using advanced technology to create bio-weapons. Some of Ledger’s assignments ventured into the realm of the supernatural… and while Ledger might not believe in that “stuff” — his team had to deal with it. Ultimately because of threats to the world, Rogue Team International was formed.
The man calls himself Mr. October. He’s been known by other names. Mr. October is fine… for now. Mr. October has plans to change the world. Chaos will reign.
She should be dead. She was dead. She remembers that much. Slowly her memory is coming back. Mr. October calls her Mother Mary. Mother Mary’s IQ is on a genius level scale that is off the charts. As intelligent as she is, Mary is just as insane. She wants to see the world burn. It has to burn to shine.
Mr. October has the financial resources to get Mary whatever she needs to make a virus strain more potent than ever seen before. The virus will infect people across the country. The infected will become “bombs” spreading the plague. The US… and then the world will fall.
Joe Ledger and his team are sent to Pine Deep. From past experience Ledger knows to count on strange things. Groups of heavily armed men, gearing up for battle, usually indicate a militia. The “soldiers” look like skinheads. But the mission they’re preparing for is much more sinister. And even the “soldiers” have no idea how they’re being used.
It’s been said it’s impossible to stop an assassin willing to die. How do you stop an army of those assassins?
Joe Ledger and his team are going to find out. Or die trying.
