In the heart of Afghanistan is a hidden lab where a new type of biological warfare has been developed. This weapon is so powerful that it turns innocent people into zombie like creatures, and the bite is highly contagious.

Joe Ledger is just a cop, but there is something special about him. He knows languages and he’s smart, but more than anything he’s cool in a fight and is a natural fighter. The secret anti-terrorist government agency, the department of Military Science wants him to help fight this new weapon.

In Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry, Joe and his team must pull together and somehow defeat this diabolical plan to destroy the west with a disease that is both terrifying and deadly. Methodical and detailed, this thriller spares no punches in its descriptions and plot.
