A review by galidar
Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry

4.0

Terrorism, Bioengineering, Black Ops Military branches...and Zombies.

This is the best way to do a short description of the elements guiding Patient Zero, but it hardly does the series justice to just leave it there.

Joe Ledger gets thrust into a world he couldn't imagine after having to kill the terrorist he shot in the head a second time. With a solid writing style, and a main character who acknowledges he is more than a little insane, the book carries through a fantastic story and continues on through the subsequent books in the series.

A quick list of elements in the other books:

- Clandestine organizations bent on world domination or destruction
- Unicorns
- Biblical plagues
- Vampires

The books also have a tendency to jump back and forth from the perspective of Joe Ledger and whoever is the opposition of that book, giving a nice amount of foreshadowing to the whole thing. Highly recommended.
