About this listen

“I didn’t plan to kill anyone. I wasn’t totally against the idea, either. Sometimes things just fall that way, and either you roll with it or it rolls over you. Letting the bad guys win isn’t how I roll.”

Meet Joe Ledger, Baltimore PD, attached to a Homeland task force … who’s about to get a serious promotion.

Featured Article: Mmmm, Brains...Satisfy Your Cravings with the 20 Best Zombie Audiobooks Ever


Zombies have been a potent cultural force for decades. Something about the concept of a ragtag crew of survivors facing off against endless masses of shuffling brain-munchers really seems to speak to people! There are hundreds, if not thousands, of zombie-themed stories out there. But which ones are the very best? And which zombie audiobooks will have you double-checking the locks and sleeping with a baseball bat next to your bed?

Gripping Story • Engaging Prequel • Excellent Narration • Action-packed Tale • Intriguing Introduction

This is my 2nd time going through the Joe series, even though I have unread books. I really enjoy the story, the technical/tactical details are pretty good and Joe is just my kinda guy. What can I say.
If you’re a zombie fan and a fan of dudes that gets stuff done, you should enjoy this series.

Awesome beginnings, (2nd or 3rd time starting over......from beginning to end), love love love both Ray Porter and Jonathan Maberry. Thank you both for all your hard work. The works we see and the works we don't, thank you for all you do.

Setting the stage

OJust a few moments Peek into the coming book, less length than a normal book introduction. This is more like a back of a book jacket blurb describing a scene in the book.

The prequel doesn’t exactly say, “the Zombies are coming!”, or even mention anything about Zombies, but I can tell when a good Zombie or Zombie like tale is fixing to explode into action!...For Example: a Crazed Guy difficult to Kill, who tries to bite people, who makes growling and snarling noises...Duh!!)....But, sounded good to me, and now, I’m going to go see about adding the “Patient Zero” book to my collection..I definitely look forward to the ride!!..

Not much of anything new here. This story is basically taken straight out of Book 1, Patient Zero, but it could be helpful to someone new to Joe Ledger books. I read/listen to Patient Zero at least once a year, it's definitely one of my favorites!

It's okay

Joe Ledger is a masterpiece. Ray Porter is a legend in the narrating game. So much so I founded 50 Shades of Ray on Audible. Come join us if you are a fan of Ray Porter. This is where is all begins, and with it being free in Audible Plus, it was the only way I would ever obtain and listen to a 19 minute "book". Well worth it for free.

A great start to one of the best series out there.

This was really good, I enjoyed it but it was to short! Thought it would be longer then what it was. It gets you wanting more though, I will say that. I can't wait to listen to the next one. The reader is great as well, he makes me feel like I'm right there in the middle of it all.

great!
