Challenges: Audiobook, Men In Uniform, Suspense/Thriller, For Fun, TBR, Zombie Overall Rating: 5.00+ Story Rating: 5.00+ Character Rating: 5.00+ Audio Rating (not part of the overall): 3.00 (Wasn't my favorite in audio--switched to paper half way through) First thought when finished: This book did for me the same thing The President's Vampire did--gave me my action/thriller love coupled with my paranormal love! *sigh* I am in love with Joe Ledger! What I Loved: There wasn't much I didn't love about this book! Patient Zero had heart-stopping action that any thriller junkie would love. It had a fantastic lead character, Joe Ledger, that any fan of conflicted heroes would love. He reminded me of a cross between Jason Bourne and Jack Baeur---lethal, cunning, and yet still had a heart. It also had fantastic side characters that you can't help but adore, suspect of being of moles, and care for in every aspect. I wont' go into any individual detail because a huge part of the fun of this book is the back-seat detective game you have going in your head. Seriously, I was sure I figured it out a couple of times. Of course, that means that I was also wrong a couple of times :) I can't say enough about this book. It is just FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! Audio Review: I love audiobooks but this one just did not work for me. I listened to about half of the story in audio then switched over to paper. I just don't think there was enough urgency in the narrators voice. I have listened other books Ray Porter has done and they were excellent. So I think it might have been my urgency keyed up feeling and not necessarily the narrators. So bottom line, Ray Porter is an excellent narrator but this book didn't work for ME in audio form! Hope that makes sense because if you skip a book that has Ray as a narrator you are missing out on some true narration genius. Final Thought: Not everyone will like this book but if you are a fan of Paranormal Thrillers---you will LOVE IT! Review: An original high octane horror thriller with some flaws - Maberry has crafted a top notch horror thrill full of unexpected twists and turns. It is set within the war on terror in an inventive action packed narrative. The core cast of heroes and villains are well written with engaging and some shocking arcs. The warrior’s heart and ethos as well as the good person fighting incredible odds is very well portrayed. The ineffectiveness of large bureaucracy is also well presented. The DMS is great antiterrorist with a fascinating backstory only hinted at. However, there is excessive unnecessary taking of the Lord’s name throughout the novel. It was offensive and made the novel far less enjoyable. The terror of violent religious radicalism was well portrayed but there was no positive examples of faith or religion which greatly lessened the narrative in my opinion. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1250043778 | | Best Sellers Rank | #616,628 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #400 in Terrorism Thrillers (Books) #424 in Military Thrillers (Books) #1,668 in Suspense Thrillers | | Book 1 of 10 | Joe Ledger | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,184) | | Dimensions | 4.1 x 1.39 x 7.56 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9781250043771 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1250043771 | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 512 pages | | Publication date | January 28, 2014 | | Publisher | St. Martin's Paperbacks | ## Images ![Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KEHEuwEaL.jpg) ![Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger Novel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51OnC2vvz8L.jpg) ![Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger Novel - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RKqWxxTGL.jpg) ![Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger Novel - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81STuI+nNFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Patient Zero had heart-stopping action that any thriller junkie would love *by F***R on March 9, 2012* Read for FUN!

Very entertaining. The energy of the story began quickly and did not lose speed until the conclusion. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3909034-patient-zero-a-joe-ledger-novel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3909034-patient-zero-a-joe-ledger-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
