When Joe Ledger and Echo Team rescue a group of American college kids held hostage in Iran, the Iranian government then asks them to help find six nuclear bombs planted in the Mideast oil fields. These stolen WMDs will lead Joe and Echo Team into hidden vaults of forbidden knowledge, mass-murder, betrayal, and a brotherhood of genetically-engineered killers with a thirst for blood. Accompanied by the beautiful assassin called Violin, Joe follows a series of clues to find the Book of Shadows, which contains a horrifying truth that threatens to shatter his entire worldview. They say the truth will set you free… Not this time. The secrets of the Assassin's Code will set the world ablaze.

This is the fourth Joe Ledger book so read them first, also listen to Missing Files after that. I love this series, well written and appeals to my inner smart ass like the hero of the book. The narrator acts out each line of dialogue with each character easily distinguishable from the next. Really hope he does the earlier books. Highly recommended.

Amazing again.

Excellent series that needs a TV deal. Good characters well written, talented voice work. Without spoiling one part didnt make any sense after the set up.

Action packed

fantastic book very very well written with a first class reading of the story.
However I do have one major issue its that its not the complete series Patient Zero and Dragon Factory are missing so your missing the fist two books of the set so anyone not familiar with the stories dose not know why people are the way they are. Audible should publish books in a series as the series not as individual missing parts out.

Firstly, a real frustration is that audible have available in the UK, books 1, 4, 5 & 6 in this series... Not 2 and 3 that are available in the states... That's mental.

Fortunately I sourced them elsewhere.

Love this series, this the second I've listened to confirmed that and spurred me to order all of the others. Recommended for virtually anyone and I'm glad to see its finally becoming a movie
