Robots are no longer science fiction. Autonomous, programmed to react like animals: fast, relentless, deadly. From microscopic nanobots to massive self-guided aircraft. This technology is here, it's assessable, and it's dangerous. What's even scarier is that almost anyone can get their hands on it.

A freelance terrorist uses the latest generation of robot dogs to deliver WMDs into cities across America. Sophisticated military weapons systems turn on their human masters. A technological apocalypse is coming, and we may be too late to stop it.

Joe Ledger and a newly rebuilt Department of Military Sciences square off against this new and terrible threat. Dogs of War pits Joe against a merciless new enemy and an army of techno-terrorists in a race to prevent a global destruction.

Let loose the Dogs of War.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

What IN THE ACTUAL HELL is Nicodemus?!?! Jonathan Maberry needs an entire related series dedicated to this talking point

I ask again

The last couple books seemed to be lacking something. The story seemed to just throw more of the same minions over and over. I feared the best days for Joe Ledger we're in the past.
With this reboot of sorts I think there are many great stories left to be told. Spoiler alert... you might see favorite characters from other authors and series and it is awesome..

The DMS is Back and better than ever....

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, Ray Porter does a great job narrating this book and it is a decent story. It would probably be better to start earlier in the series as this book references a lot of prior history.

Any additional comments?

Another entry into the Joe Ledger saga. Not the best of the bunch, but no dog either. Lots of good and scary technology rooted in the real world. Somehow though, the story just didn't scare me, compel me or excite me. There just didn't seem to be the same level of danger as some of the prior books. The wrap up seemed to easy and the villains a little flat. Some old ones appear in interludes and Nicodemus plays prominently, but seems remote too.
I wish the Church vs Nicodemus conflict had a bit more meat, especially the battle. Nicodemus seems to take a lot of traits and characteristics from King's The Walking Dude/Randall Flagg. Maybe that is intentional.
Other main characters like Circe and Junie get a mention, but little or no air time.
Regarding the series, I'm sure this is all going somewhere with the good and evil and who Church really is, but it taking awhile to get there. We do know some eventual outcomes as per Dark of Night and the Rot and Ruin series, but it seems to be a long road. Maybe after nine books I am a bit jaded.
I am looking forward to Joe Ledger: Unstoppable coming in October.

The narrator. is the best I have ever heard, I hope he never stopped. Johnathon Maunder has a very big imagination. and I'm thankful for that, please don't ever stop writing Joe Ledger novels.

Good Story

Jonathan Maberry shows everyone once again just how amazing an author he is. With Ray Porter doing his usual fantastic job as narrator, Dogs of War is just another masterpiece.

Once again Jonathan Maberry blows everything away

Probably one of the best Ledger books in the series. I found every opportunity to listen throughout the day. You will not be disappointed.

Incredible Story

I tried, but I just couldn't wait for my Credit this month so I had to buy credits to listen to this book. That is the way it's been throughout this series. I fly through these books! The ONLY disappointment was Ray Porter's mispronounciation of Murrells Inlet, SC. Bless his heart: he made me cringe every time he said it. Honey, contact me for future South Carolina pronunciations!

Jonathan Maberry is one of the most talemted and terrifying authors out there. I save his books and always look forward to starting another. Ray Porter is one on the best and I could not see anyone else reading the books. I keep waiting for the final apocalypse I know is coming that leads to the ruin but I am enjoying the ride. So glad to see the DMS on the case and kicking ass again. Please keep them coming Mr. Mayberry!!

DMD is Back!!!!
