This is book 13 of a supposed 30 I am going to read this year, and the next 17 are going to have a heck of a job if they are to be better than this.

By far, my favourite book of the year so far - and that’s saying something as I’ve enjoyed a lot of the books along the way.

It’s hard to pinpoint just what it is about Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry that made it so brilliant. Perhaps it was that I read it in just two sittings, mainly outside in the sunshine which helped but then again the nature of the story and relentless pace of the story surely made it anything but a chore to do so.

Who cares about the undead?

The idea that once you are dead, the government can basically do what it wants with your body is one which will obviously upset a lot of people.

Personally, my beliefs allow me to think that once you are dead you won’t really care much what happens so they should be allowed to take certain organs if it is going to give someone else a chance to survive.  Other people hold different beliefs though, and that’s where the arguments start.
