Patient zero - jonathan maberry

Joe Ledger is a Baltimore detective who has just been secretly recruited to deal with the problems that Homeland Security cant handle.

His first mission: stop a group of terrorists from releasing a bio-weapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies.

When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week theres either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills.

and theres nothing wrong with Joe Ledgers skills.

And thats both a good, and a bad thing.

Its good because hes a Baltimore detective that has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new taskforce created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security cant handle.

This rapid response group is called the Department of Military Sciences or the DMS for short.

Its bad because his first mission is to help stop a group of terrorists from releasing a dreadful bio-weapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies.

The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
