Patient Zero - Jonathan Maberry

Note to self: Do not read a book (albeit fictional) about terrorists while in an airplane.

But that is exactly where I did read Jonathan Maberry's latest thriller. I was flying to and from Seattle and "Patient Zero" was my escape.

And a great escape (...ahem...) it is. There is plenty of action - plenty. So much that it was hard to catch my breath.

Maberry knows how to "up the ante" and to make those later chapters, as he moves quickly to the climax, short and full of drama.

I loved Maberry's Ghost Road Blues triology for it's language - but I love Patient Zero for its action.

I'm looking forward to the next "Joe Ledger" thriller - and maybe, just maybe, a movie.

Five Witchy Hats - a keeper.
