Terrorists-for-hire have created a weapon that can induce earthquakes and cause dormant volcanoes to erupt. One terrifying side-effect of the weapon is that prior to the devastation, the vibrations drive ordinary people to suicide and violence. A wave of madness begins sweeping the country beginning with a mass shooting in Congress. Joe Ledger and his team go on a wild hunt to stop the terrorists and uncover the global super-power secretly funding them. At every step the stakes increase as it becomes clear that the end-game of this campaign of terror is igniting the Yellowstone caldera, the super-volcano that could destroy America.
DEEP SILENCE pits Joe Ledger against terrorists with bleeding-edge science weapons, an international conspiracy, ancient technologies from Atlantis and Lemuria, and an escalating threat that could crack open the entire Earth.
This finale in a series that I've absolutely loved for years was fantastic! It may be my favorite Joe Ledger to date. The plot was creepy and twisted, and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire ride.
One of my criticisms usually is that there's some slow parts to these books that drag a bit. Not here. Not this time. The pacing was at 1,000 from the very beginning and just kept going higher at every page.
I cannot wait to see where these characters go from here and what other fucked up shenanigans they get into.
