Description

From multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author Jonathan Maberry comes a major new thriller that combines the best of the New York Times best-selling books World War Z by Max Brooks and James Rollins’ Sigma Force Series to kick off the start of a new series featuring Joe Ledger and the Department of Military Sciences.

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 who has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new task force 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 bioweapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.

Jonathan Maberry is the New York Times best-selling and multiple Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Ghost Road Blues, the first of a trilogy of thrillers with a supernatural bite. A professional writer and writing teacher, he has sold more than 1.000 articles, 17 nonfiction books, six novels, and two plays.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Brilliant, shocking, horrifying, it puts the terror back in terrorist.” (James Rollins, New York Times best-selling author)
“Plenty of man-to-zombie combat, a team traitor and a doomsday scenario add up to a fast and furious read.” ( Publishers Weekly)
"Jonathan Maberry has found a delightful voice for this adventure of Joe Ledger and his crew: while the action is heated, violent, and furious, the writing remains cool, steady, and low-key, framing all the wildness and exuberance in a calm rationality (given an almost comic edge) that renders it as palatable as your favorite flavor of ice cream." (Peter Straub)

Riveting story.

I think over all the story was very well done. However the main character was narcissistic sarcastic and not a likeable fellow. At that time I almost gave up on the book. But I did carry-on and his character became more bearable.

Filled With Action

Exciting, packed with action, and perfect for anyone who loves military thrillers mixed with sci fi, PATIENT ZERO is a great "popcorn" book to indulge in if you are looking for a good time.

Joe Ledger is a former military man turned cop who is recruited to a super secret government agency when a terrorist he eliminated is brought back to life. From there, Joe must form an elite team to confront very real, very dangerous enemies, and learn to work alongside them.

joe is a pretty good character. He is definitely a hero, one reminiscent of 80's and 90's cop movies where the detective plays by his own rules. He is definitely a man that gets things done, no matter the cost, and is focused on finding the best solution to help as many people as he can.

That said, I couldn't quite connect with Joe Ledger the way I wanted to. He seemed to be perfect at everything, literally the best of the best with no one in between. While I understand that's a common trope in this genre, I would have preferred a character with more relatable flaws and one who didn't verbally stomp his allies when things don't go his way. The other side characters are a little light in the development department, and try as I might, I couldn't seem to connect with them either.

The plot is straightforward, has plenty of action and science, and is great for readers who just want to be entertained. There are some dark and disturbing moments to be sure, but this is something a casual reader can pick up and enjoy. While I don't think I'm the right audience for it, I do see why it's so popular and would recommend it to anyone who is curious and wanting to give the series a try!

I had to buy some Oreos

As usual Ray Porter is the best. I got this book purely because I saw he was narrating. This type of book is not really my genre but it’s ok

Very entertaining, an excellent listen

Narration was very good and kept me wanting more. The story I gave 4 stars for being predictable but well worth the credit.
The main characters are always some kind of special forces and have all the coolest gadgets and prettiest women. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this story and just purchased book 2.
