It was first published on March 3, 2009 through St. Martin's Griffin and follows a detective that must help prevent the world from being terrorized by a bioweapon that turns humans into zombies.[1] Plot summaryThe story follows Joe Ledger, a Baltimore detective, who is recruited into the Department of Military Sciences, a specialized entity of the US Government which answers only to the President, to prevent a terrorist plot against America. El Mujahid and his associates create a prion disease which causes victims to expire, then re-animate with minimal brain function; enough to find, attack and infect more people with "Seif al Din". Joe Ledger and the Department of Military Sciences must stop El Mujahid before he can release his newer and much more powerful strain of the pathogen in Philadelphia. ReceptionCritical reception for Patient Zero has been largely positive and the book was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. [2] The book received positive reviews from the SF Site,[3] New Straits Times,[4] and The Gazette.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Interview with Jonathan Maberry, author of Patient Zero|url=http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/2009/04/interview_with_jonathan_maberry_author_of_patient_zero_1/|publisher=SF Signal|accessdate=6 April 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web |title=Past Award Nominees and Winners |url=http://horror.org/past-award-nominees-winners/#2009 |website=Horror Writers Association Blog |date=15 June 2000}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=Wilson|first=Gil T.|title=Patient Zero (review)|url=http://www.sfsite.com/01b/pz336.htm|publisher=SF Site|accessdate=6 April 2014}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Faridah|first=Ermira|title=Hear come the living dead|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-198269668.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140611112925/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-198269668.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=June 11, 2014|accessdate=6 April 2014|newspaper=New Straits Times (subscription required)|date=October 1, 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web|last=Miller|first=Anita|title=BOOK GROUPIE: Suspend disbelief and enjoy Maberry|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-27711417.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140611112842/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-27711417.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=11 June 2014|publisher=The Gazette (subscription required)|accessdate=6 April 2014}} External links
