Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger Novel (Joe Ledger, #1)

by Jonathan Maberry

Ray Porter (Narrator)

When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there's either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills...and there's nothing wrong with Joe Ledger's skills. And that's both a good, and a bad thing. It's good because he's a Baltimore detective that has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new taskforce created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can't handle. This rapid response group is called the Department of Military Sciences or the DMS for short. It's bad because his first mission is to help stop a group of terrorists from releasing a dreadful bio-weapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies. The fate of the world hangs in the balance...

Reviews

Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry is the first novel in his Joe Ledger series, and it’s a fantastic first novel in a series.

I thought Maberry did an excellent job introducing his main character, Joe Ledger - the BAMF Baltimore detective recruited into a secret government organization, the Department of Military Sciences (DMS). He’s a smart mouthed cop with excellent investigative skills, with a ruthless personality when his Warrior personality comes out to play.

He and Echo Team work together to attempt to stop terrorists from releasing a plague that would cause a zombie apocalypse. It's a rough ride for the DMS and Joe, as they scramble to succeed.
