    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 who has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new task force created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can’t handle....

    James says: "Drop Dead and get back up great."
    "Great Story. Horrible Characters"

    What disappointed you about Patient Zero?

    My disappointment came from the story's characters. The protaganist Joe Ledger comes off like a high school brat with a smart mouth. Maberry fails when he tries to make this guy humorus. Joe Ledger's backstory is somewhat compelling but thats about it. Efrain Goodweather in Del Toro's The Strain series made for a much better and compelling character because it didn't seem as though Del Toro was trying too hard to make this guy a hero. Maberry just takes the easy way out and oversells this Ledger as a prototypical rebel hero.


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    The plot was good. But I was not on the edge of my seat with it. Again the characters just didn't move the plot along well.


    Which character – as performed by Ray Porter – was your favorite?

    Ray Porter seems to have a great range of ability. However Maberry did not give him very much to work with as far as characters. Porter's performance was great but I didn't like any other characters


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    It's a cool take on the zombie genre. I like what the story attempted to do.


    Any additional comments?

    I wish I hadn't paid for this audiobook. The Strain is superior in everyway to Patient Zero. Don't waste your time with this audiobook.
