ub1980 's review for:

Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry
4.0

When a book chooses to go beyond the boarders of its label,that's what I like, and want more of.

Joe Ledger is not a superhero but often put in situations where his abilities make him into a killing machine. The zombies are only part of a well crafted military thriller. I would have never seen the appeal had someone told me this was a military thriller. But throw in zombies and I am sold.

The story is about Joe Ledger being recruited by Mr. Church into a secret military branch of the government, to contain the spread of an infectious disease that turns people into zombies. The reason/cause of the infection is also ingenious and kept me interested in the 400+ paged thriller.

In all I had never read zombies done like this. I am looking forward to more Joe Ledger novels and perhaps other themes by author Johnathan Mayberry
