I've enjoyed this series since the first novel patient zero. The amount of detail the author goes into describing even background characters really helps immerse you in the dms/Joe Leger world. In addition the amount of details provided in regards to the technology and equipment used by both sides in each book belies a deep understanding and knowledge only possible through painstaking research.
Unfortunately, in the past two books or so, more so in this latest addition there was a deep political bias ingrained in the story which I found annoying and jarring. Leisure reading is meant to be an escape not preaching political stances that will inevitably alienate at least half of your readers/fans. Prior to this and the penultimate entry into the Joe ledger series, the story has its own politics and intrigue that unfolded as part of the narrative. When you create politics around the Characters you enrich the lore of said character's world, however when you bend them to fit outside politics, you detract from the same.
I'm ok with disagreeing or diametrically opposed political opinion, but I do regret paying to have someone else's shoved in my face rather than get what I meant to be paid for, a good entertaining story.
Ps. Military branches are traditionally supposed to be capitalized as the author forgot to do in the end.

Against all odds: DMS, Capt Ledger & Echo Team drop the hammer on another group psycho-terrorists!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2019
I purchased Jonathan Maberry's "Dragon Factory" after the title and artwork jumped out at me in the isle of a bookstore years ago. I've been a huge fan ever since. I've read all the DMS (Dept of Military Sciences)/ Joe Ledger books. They have been in my top tier for this genre for a looong time! "This Genre" meaning any books with Sci Fi, Special Ops, conspiracies, mystery, murder, aliens, black magic, otherworldly forces, amazing tech, cutting edge weaponry and action, action action... I want a DMS patch or t-shirt!!! First, Maberry dials up the adrenaline and allows us to main line another action packed, plot driven, page burner of an entry into the already amazing log of DMS missions with Capt Joe Ledger & Echo Team leading the charge. This story brings back elements of some earlier story lines which will be familiar to those who have read the previous novels. If you haven't read previous novels, this one will melt your face and send you back to the book store or computer to order them and fill the void left by knowing there are books in this series that you have not read yet! Think: Stephen King, meets Michael Crichton, meets Tom Clancy with some Jeremy Robinson and Larry Correia thrown in the mix... There is another plot to destroy the world as we know it- initiated by another group of Megalomaniacal bad guys. The lengths they've gone to and research they've painstakingly and patiently accumulated and executed over the years to build their weapons and execute their plan is amazing and scary. Those actions are mirrored by the equally amazing, hard pounding investigative techniques, futuristic forensic methods, and problem solving tech possessed and deployed by the DMS team to solve the mystery of who is behind the threat, what the threat is, why it's being planned, when & where the threat will be unveiled and most importantly-what tactics it will take to stop it-dead. Maberry methodically adds layer upon layer of storytelling expertise to get us there and it is an incredible ride. Maberry continues to develop the characters we love and their relationships with each other. The members of DMS including: Ledger, Church, Aunt Sallie, Bunny, Top & Ghost are all there. Some new characters are introduced and fleshed out as the story unfolds at lightening speed. Secondary characters join us as well. There are some heart felt and emotional moments between the characters that really draw you in. DMS: They are a team, a family and brothers in arms in every sense of those words. The tapestry Maberry has woven around them is strong, genuine and colorful. Some other reviewers have expressed disappointment in the way Maberry has woven an obviously Trumpesque Presidential character (plus his evil aide) into the story. Agreed!! All I can say is, if you've read more than 2 or 3 novels you've probably come across characters who are based on actors, news personalities, politicians etc... Maberry does indeed paint the character of POTUS in "Deep Silence" to seem like Trump and he does it perfectly!- right down to his tweets! No matter where you fall on the spectrum of politics, if you can't get over that enough to enjoy the holy crap out of this novel, that's on you. I understand Glen Beck has penned a few novels you may like. I also can't wait for the next Joe Ledger novel. Keep them coming!!!
