Publisher's summary

For years the Department of Military Sciences has fought to stop terrorists from using radical bioweapons - designer plagues, weaponized pathogens, genetically modified viruses, and even the zombie plague that first brought Ledger into the DMS. These terrible weapons have been locked away in the world’s most secure facility. Until now. Joe Ledger and Echo Team are scrambled when a highly elite team of killers breaks the unbreakable security and steals the world’s most dangerous weapons. Within days there are outbreaks of mass slaughter and murderous insanity across the American heartland. Can Joe Ledger stop a brilliant and devious master criminal from turning the Land of the Free into a land of the dead?

Code Zero, a Joe Ledger novel from Jonathan Maberry, is the exciting direct sequel to Patient Zero.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Great Read!

Another great one in the Joe Ledger series. Mr. Maberry writes the most visual fight scenes I've ever read. Truly AWESOME! Mr. Porter is a GREAT Voice Talent!

Great book, but the real praise is for Ray Porter

I've listened to many books, but none have been so eloquently narrated as those by Ray Porter. His ability to convey subtle nuances that maybe weren't even intended by the author is outstanding. His ability to give each character a voice and personality are top notch. Hard to believe you're listening to one narrator. Until you've listened to a book narrated by a subpar narrator, you will never be able to truly appreciate how much skill goes into great narration. I look forward to finishing this series, and will search out other titles narrated by Ray Porter.

Loving Ledger

I can't say that this was my favorite story in the Joe Ledger saga, but it did not disappoint. Without spoilers, one story line villain was put to rest. Finally! Ray Porter RULES!

On par with the rest of the Joe Ledger series

The performance was excellent as always, and the story was very entertaining. If you like the other novels, you'll like this one.

Ray is awesome

Great performance with a solid entertaining story. The combo of Maberry and Porter is unstoppable like Joe, Church, and Ghost.

Insanely fun to listen to.

Another terrific story by Maberry. This time he brings most of the devilish plots from his past stories into one to create one fantastic, but terrifying, story. I love Joe Ledger.

Intense!

First off, the book says it's a sequel to Patient Zero, however there are 4 other books between Patient Zero and Code Zero. You do not want to miss those books.

Code Zero was intense - so much so that in the middle it was almost hard to listen to for more than short periods. That's not a negative, it just put me on edge. The action is pretty much nonstop and the story line all too believable. Towards the end I couldn't stop listening; it was enthralling. Great book - it'll have you on the edge of your chair.

Ray Porter has done an EXCELLENT job with the entire series. I could listen to him read all day, everyday.

I'm looking forward to the next Joe Ledger book - great series, highly recommended!

One of my favorite series!

I’m hooked! I love this series so much. I started off with just reading the print copies but Ray Porter has me craving the audio book with his interpretation of Joe. I love everything about it!

Its another Ledger Story

For the longest time I always wondered what would happen if all the shit the DMS has run into so far decided to do a colab to boost the views and well here it is! I love when aspects of the old novels get brought up again in other books even if some continuity aspects get modified a bit. The antagonist wasnt much of a mystery but i feel like the aspect of her own mental instability made her a believable threat, specially after it was revealed she was trying to accomplish.

Ny only complaint is that we are leaving behind older characters now, Bunny and the rest dont get as much of an emphasis on them anymore. Interesting characters like Toys who was my favorite character in previous books has somehow been stripped of everything that made him unique.

Altogether another great read and i hope the next one is just as good
