출판사 설명
For years the Department of Military Sciences has fought to stop terrorists from using radical bioweapons—designer plagues, weaponized pathogens, genetically modified viruses, and even the zombie plague that first brought Ledger into the DMS. These terrible weapons have been locked away in the world’s most secure facility. Until now. Joe Ledger and Echo Team are scrambled when a highly elite team of killers breaks the unbreakable security and steals the world’s most dangerous weapons. Within days there are outbreaks of mass slaughter and murderous insanity across the American heartland. Can Joe Ledger stop a brilliant and devious master criminal from turning the Land of the Free into a land of the dead?
Code Zero, a Joe Ledger novel from Jonathan Maberry, is the exciting direct sequel to Patient Zero.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Maberry's sequel to 2009's Patient Zero, his sixth starring Joe Ledger of the ultrasecret Department of Military Science (after 2013's Extinction Machine), does a good job of making its variation on the zombie menace plausible. A copy of VaultBreaker, "the absolute bleeding edge of cybersecurity technology," designed to keep America's foes from turning off its energy grid, has fallen into the wrong hands specifically, those of an Asian woman who calls herself Mother Night, the liaison to a team of cyberhackers from China and other unfriendly foreign countries. Ledger and his team take what appear to be successful steps to thwart the threat posed by these hackers, but his optimism proves to be ill-founded. The Berserkers, monsters believed to have been wiped out, resurface and go on the attack, spreading infections that turn people into ravenous killers. Maberry's shout-outs to popular culture's depictions of zombies lessens the tension and feeling of doom, albeit just slightly.
