Jonathan Maberry's Joe Ledger series follows a former cop turned special operative for a black-ops unit fighting bioterrorism threats that routinely turn out to be supernatural or genetically monstrous, beginning with Patient Zero and its zombie-outbreak plot. Later books widen the threats to rogue AI, genetic supersoldiers, and other high-concept horrors, with numerous other authors contributing spin-off novellas and short fiction to the same continuity. The series sits within a wider connected universe of Maberry's horror-thriller fiction.
