#68 Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry, Ray Porter (Narrator)

For years I passed on this book thinking more it was about zombies. I have had read some short fiction by the same author and it had characters from this series in it, so I gave it a listen. This starts out as cop being recruited by a mysterious government group right before he was to start at Quantico. He came to their attention because on his last job on a taskforce he took down a zombie. No one at the time knew it was one and thought it was just another terrorist in the cell they were taking down. Joe Ledger is a good cop and a great fighter, but he does have issues due to terrible things that happened when he was a kid. Now part of the DMS, he and a small group of fighters are now trying to take down the terrorist group that have made a virus that can turn anyone into a zombie and the bite of the zombie will infect more.  The group behind this has funding from a pharmaceutical company that has the cure, and they are planning on making billions. But the terrorists are using the pharma company as much as they are using them. Lots of action and a good story. I also got the next one in the series to listen to.
