Cave 13 by Jonathan Maberry (Rogue Team International, Book 3)

The Rogue Team International series takes Mayberry’s hero, Joe Ledger, a former Baltimore cop and Echo Team leader, away from the U.S. Department of Military Science into an international team of troubleshooters led by Mr. Church. Having penned the ten-book Joe Ledger Series and numerous short stories and anthologies centered around Joe Ledger’s world, all of Maberry’s characters run deep. He’s known for his science-based fiction, heart-wrenching emotion, and hard-driving action. In CAVE 13, Joe Ledger and his RTI team plunge into a deadly arms race between Middle East terrorist groups and multinational corporations out to use ancient magic found along with the Dead Sea Scrolls as a 21st Century WMD. Readers can dive straight into CAVE 13, but the first two books in this series, RAGE and RELENTLESS, are too good to miss.
