Extinction Machine

In the fifth Joe Ledger book, the DMS must go up against someone — or something — in search of new technology that could bring about world war

Strange things have been happening all over the world. Reports of global UFO sightings are increasing at an alarming rate. North Korea’s ultra-top secret weapons research lab is destroyed by a volcano — that has not erupted in over forty million years. A U.S. prototype stealth fighter is destroyed in a test flight, and witnesses on the ground say it was shot down by a craft that immediately vanished at impossible speeds. Key military personnel, politicians, and scientists start to disappear. The President of the United States vanishes from the White House for five hours to be found safe and sound the next morning — claiming he had been abducted by aliens in the night. And in a remote fossil dig in China, dinosaur hunters uncover something that is definitely not of this earth.

And now Joe Ledger and the Department of Military Sciences must barrel headlong into the heat of the world’s strangest and deadliest arms race, because the global rush to recover and retro-engineer alien technologies has just hit a snag. Someone — or something — wants that technology back.
