Patient Zero

I pulled this book out not really expecting much, I had read so many zombie stories that they were all starting to blend together at this point. So I was pleasantly surprised to read a new take, a group of terrorists threatening to use a bioweapon to create a race of zombies. This had very few dead spots, plenty of human/human and human/zombie action to keep me interested while still showing humanity and the conflict of morals when you need to take a life. 

I actually read this book after I read another series by Jonathan Maberry, the Pine Deep trilogy. I was haunted by the Pine Deep series and when I picked up Patient Zero I was once again haunted. The fact that zombies could be a genetic mutation or something brought about by science made me wonder about the state of scientific discovery. Is there a moment when we might go too far in genetics that we have frightening combinations like zombie corn or zombie flowers? Not only will nature try to kill us, but animals already have some form of zombie… show more.
