Joe Ledger Series

Patient Zero When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week, then there s either something wrong with your skills or something wrong with your world, and there s nothing wrong with my skills.

Baltimore detective, Joe Ledger is assigned to a counterterrorism task force, recruited by an ultra-secret rapid response group called the Department of Military Science (DMS) to help stop a group of terrorists from releasing a dreadful bioweapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies.

Multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author Jonathan Maberry delivers a first-round knock-out punch with Patient Zero, the first in a thrilling new series featuring Joe Ledger and the DMS. Part Max Brooks, part James Rollins, Patient Zero is 100% excitement.

Ex-Baltimore cop turned Special Ops shooter Joe Ledger is back in action. In THE DRAGON FACTORY he and his team from the DMS (Department of Military Sciences) square off against two separate groups of corrupt scientists. The beautiful but twisted Jakoby Twins are creating transgenic monsters and genetically-enhanced mercenaries for sale to the highest bidder. Their father, who takes evil to an entirely new level, is using cutting-edge science to complete the Nazi Master Race Program.

Joe has to elude the NSA who are gunning for him, fight his way past rogue Spetsnaz teams, and stop these madmen before the Extinction Clock runs out.

And when the bloodbath claims one of his own, Joe Ledger declares total war on those people who would burn down the world in order to reshape it in their own dark image.
