Aus dem Klappentext

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
