From the Inside Flap:

“Jonathan Maberry is the king of the fictional occult and his Joe Ledger is a one-man wrecking crew for zombies and bioterrorists. These action-packed tales read fast and hard. Pick up this book and you won't put it down. “ – Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times Bestselling author of Tell No Lies “Wow! Maberry's Patient Zero made me pleasantly nervous for one long afternoon, when I consumed it. It's a fast-paced, creepy thriller that as prickly as a hospital needle and sounds a little too convincing. This guy is good.” – Joe R. Lansdale “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.” – Peter Straub - New York Times bestselling author and horror master “(Maberry) weaves science, police procedure, and modern anti-terror techniques into a unique blend, and tops it off with a larger than life character who is utterly believable. I couldn't put it down.” Jerry Pournelle, New York Times best-selling co-author of Footfall and Lucifer's Hammer
