Patient Zero

Average rating3.8
When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there's either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills... and there's nothing wrong with Joe Ledger's skills. And that's both a good, and a bad thing. It's good because he's 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 can't handle. This rapid response group is called the Department of Military Sciences or the DMS for short. It's 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....

Ridiculous, silly, poorly written nonsense with incredibly annoying characters. It is possible to make a zombie plague and international espionage completely and utterly boring.
A great, quick read. I loved Joe Ledger's character. It was like reading the zombie apocalypse version of 24.
When I added this to my list, I was looking at it like a good on flight read. Essentially in the land of Mack Bolan or Jack Reacher. Jonathan did not disappoint me and in fact delivered well above expectations. For a book that moves so fast it is very well thought out and characters really well sculpted. And believe me it is fast as Jonathan takes you from one action scene to another. (The honor of the the fastest book I have read still rests easily with Scarecrow-Matt Reilly). This book though is written from multiple POV's and this adds a lot of flavor. Am definitely going to check out the next one in this series.
